Hornets' Grant Williams Out for Season with Torn ACL and Ligament Damage

The Charlotte forward suffered a serious knee injury during Saturday's game against the Bucks, dealing a significant blow to the team's frontcourt depth.

Grant Williams sustained a torn ACL, meniscus, and additional ligament damage in his right knee late in the Hornets' 125-119 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday.
The injury occurred during a drive to the basket with under four minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, forcing Williams to leave the game and not return.
Williams had been a key contributor this season, averaging 10.4 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 2.3 assists across 16 games, with increased production in recent outings.
The Hornets, already dealing with multiple frontcourt injuries, may apply for a $6.5 million Disabled Player Exception to address their depleted roster.
This marks a significant setback for Charlotte, currently 6-10 in the Eastern Conference, as they rely heavily on LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller to stabilize the team's performance.
