After the Lakers traded for Luka Doncic, they nearly got Mark Williams from the Hornets, too. The two teams meet Wednesday. Here's what happened.

One of the more puzzling parts of the trade deadline earlier this month was when the Lakers announced that their trade to acquire big man Mark Williams from the Charlotte Hornets was rescinded just 48 hours after it was announced.

Williams has not played since that failed physical, as his status was in limbo. Now that the All-Star break is over, the Hornets and the Lakers will play each other in the first game after the break. Williams, who was listed as probable prior to this game, has been upgraded to available.
