Grant Williams Latest News
Expected to play Friday
Williams is listed as probable for Friday's game versus the Pacers due to lower back soreness. Williams appears to have injured his back against Detroit but isn't expected to miss Friday's contest. With Miles Bridges (knee) out, Williams could be inserted into the starting lineup if he's upgraded to available.
Returns to bench
Williams isn't starting Monday's game against the Timberwolves, Charlie Walton of ZoneCoverage.com reports. Williams stepped into the starting five for Saturday's matchup with Boston, but he'll retreat to a bench role Monday as the Hornets try Taj Gibson in the starting center role. Williams has seen plenty of run off the bench so far this year, averaging 25.2 minutes per game.
Inserted into starting lineup
Williams is in the starting five for Saturday's game versus the Celtics. Williams will make his first start of the season Saturday with Nick Richards (shoulder) and Mark Williams (foot) out. Williams is averaging 9.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.2 steals in 25.4 minutes across his previous five appearances.
Ejected from Friday's game
Williams was ejected from Friday's game against the Celtics after being called for a Flagrant 2, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports. With Mark Williams (back) out and Nick Richards (shoulder) leaving the contest early, Grant was thrust into an expanded role at center. He finished with six points (2-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt), seven rebounds, three assists, a steal and a block in 30 minutes before making a non-basketball play on a Jayson Tatum late in the fourth quarter. If Williams and Richards remain out, Grant could move into the starting lineup despite his antics Friday.
Records season-high 17 points
Williams had 17 points (5-6 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, five assists and two steals in 23 minutes during Wednesday's 138-133 win over the Raptors. Williams combined with Tre Mann and Cody Martin to score 68 points off Charlotte's bench in Wednesday's win. Williams is off to a blistering start from beyond the arc this season, converting 47.4 percent of his 4.8 three-point attempts per contest.
Plays 19 minutes in loss
Williams provided seven points (2-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 19 minutes during Saturday's 114-106 loss to the Heat. Williams has played 25, 29 and 19 minutes through the first three games, respectively. With Josh Green (Achilles), Brandon Miller (hip) and Mark Williams (foot) sidelined, there should be more minutes available for Grant, but thus far, he's failed to capitalize from a fantasy perspective.
Making preseason debut
Williams (hamstring) will play in Thursday's preseason game against the Grizzlies, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports. Williams has missed his team's first two exhibitions while on the mend from a right hamstring injury, but he's back at 100 percent and will now begin ramping up for the 2024-25 regular season. He's expected to see run behind Miles Bridges in the frontcourt Thursday evening.
Won't suit up Tuesday
Williams (hamstring) has been ruled out of Tuesday's preseason matchup against the Heat. Williams will miss his second consecutive preseason game due to a minor right hamstring injury, though he is expected to return in full for Opening Night. The 25-year-old's absence will likely allow the Hornets to take an extended look at Harry Giles and Moussa Diabate behind Miles Bridges and Nick Richards.
Ruled out Sunday
Williams has been ruled out of Sunday's preseason opener against the Knicks due to a minor hamstring injury, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports. Williams tweaked his hamstring near the end of training camp and his status for a return to game action is unclear. The injury is minor, but the club could look to work the 25-year-old back to form slowly until Opening Night. Williams' next opportunity to feature will come Tuesday versus the Heat.
