After the NBA Lakers completed the Doncic trade, it was rumored that they immediately listened to the suggestion to trade Hornets center Williams, but unexpectedly, the medical examination did not fail, and now it is rumored that Williams has not returned to the Hornets after the trade is canceled.

A local reporter in Charlotte revealed that Williams has yet to return to the team after the trade was canceled

According to the "Charlotte Observer" reporter Boone on the 17th, Williams has not returned to the Hornets since the trade collapsed, but Boone also said that he believes that the team is giving Williams space to have time to readjust before returning to the team. Coincidentally, the Hornets star's first game after the game was to face the Lakers, who were not traded.

Williams played in 23 games this season, averaging 15.6 points, 9.6 rebounds and 2.5 assists, and missed a few months due to injury at the beginning of the season.
