Charlotte Hornets center Mark Williams (back) will not play in Monday's game versus the Los Angeles Lakers. There just doesn't seem to be a light at the end of the tunnel here, with Williams now being absent for a 29th consecutive game. Until the Hornets provide an update on the 22-year-old interior presence's recovery from a lower back contusion, he should be deemed doubtful ahead of each tilt. Charlotte next hosts the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday. In the meantime, Nick Richards will continue to man the middle for head coach Steve Clifford. A strong source of boards, swats, and field-goal percentage, Richards is providing 13.7 points on 72.5% field-goal shooting, 9.3 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks in 30.8 minutes per game since Jan. 24.
Charlotte Hornets center Mark Williams (back) is still out for Friday's matchup against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Williams continues to sit out as part of his lengthy recovery from a lower back injury, having not been spotted on the floor since Dec. 8. It's been a frustratingly long layoff for fantasy managers, and even though Williams should be deemed doubtful at best to return on Sunday when the 10-36 Hornets host the Indiana Pacers, we would recommend continuing to hang onto the second-year big man in all fantasy leagues for his upside to rack up blocks and rebounds when healthy. Nick Richards will remain Charlotte's starting center and a solid fantasy option in the meantime, and across his latest five games, he's averaging a strong 15.2 points on 75.0% shooting from the floor, 8.8 rebounds, and 2.2 blocks.
Charlotte Hornets center Mark Williams (back) has been ruled out again for their contest against the Houston Rockets on Friday. Instead of just a "back contusion" he's now listed on the injury report with "injury recovery." That doesn't give much of a timetable for his return, but it does seem to finally be trending in the right direction. He's missed 22 consecutive games and this will be his 23rd. The last game he played was back on December 8, but he wasn't able to play the entire time due to his back issue. Nick Richards is going to remain in the starting lineup as long as Williams is sidelined and he can be a quality streaming option until that time.
Charlotte Hornets center Mark Williams (back) will remain on the sidelines Wednesday against Detroit. He's missed 21 games while dealing with a back problem, last featuring on Dec. 8. Nick Richards (ankle) has had a good spell as Williams' replacement in the starting five, but he also recently landed on the shelf. The injuries have helped Nathan Mensah break into the rotation. However, he's been very quiet all around, while P.J. Washington has also struggled for consistency as the new starting center.
Charlotte Hornets center Mark Williams (back) remains out on Friday against the Spurs. It appears the trend will continue moving forward, with head coach Steve Clifford reporting that the 22-year-old isn't nearing a return. Williams has nearly averaged a double-double this season. However, until Williams is ready to return, Nick Richards (ankle) should continue to fill most of the void in the middle. But with Richards also questionable against San Antonio, JT Thor and Nathan Mensah could see enough work to warrant streaming in deeper fantasy setups.
