The season has not yet started and the Hornets are already having to deal with injuries, particularly for Mark Williamsa promising pivot but who has already lost a lot of time in the infirmary with only 62 matches played in two seasons. Two weeks ago, post 5 found himself on his side again, suffering from a tendon in his left foot! Enough to imagine the worst, until good news brightens the player’s weekend.

Mark Williams was indeed authorized to remove his protective boot in order to continue his rehabilitation more diligently. If everything goes as planned, the Hornets medical staff could then decide favorably for a return to play in two weeks, before the start of the regular season.

During his absence, Charles Lee will in any case have to make do with a shortened rotation at the pivot position with Nick Richards et That Gibsonassisted by the French Moussa Diabatésigned as a “two-way contract”, while Grant Williams can also help on the post in a “small ball” configuration.
