CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The agent for Charlotte Hornets center Mark Williams says the Los Angeles Lakers shouldn’t have failed his client’s physical examination, a move that ultimately resulted in the trade The Hornets agreed to send the 7-foot Williams to the Lakers on Feb. 6 in exchange for Dalton Knecht, Cam Reddish, a 2031 first-round pick and a 2030 pick swap. However, the Lakers wound up failing Williams’ physical and the players returned to play for their former teams. “The overwhelming sentiment, after conferring with multiple, nationally recognized doctors, is that the Los Angeles Lakers should not have failed Mark Williams on his physical,” Williams agent Jeff Schwartz said Friday in a statement. “Mark was ready and able to play for them and should have been given that opportunity.”In his first game back with the Hornets on Wednesday night, Williams played 29 minutes and scored 10 points and grabbed nine rebounds in a 100-97 win over the Lakers. Williams, who has struggled with back issues during his three-year NBA career, has never played in more than 43 games in a season. He’s averaging 15.3 points and 9.6 rebounds per game this season.Nuggets have a shot at first 10-game win streak under coach Malone, but Lakers stand in the wayHowever, the rescinded trade has left players in the awkward position of playing for teams that no longer wanted them. The Hornets had considered taking actions against the Lakers through the league, but never made an official appeal to the league. Williams signed a four-year, $18 million contract with the Hornets after being selected with the 15th overall pick in the 2022 draft out of Duke.Vatican says Pope Francis is ‘improving slightly’ as cardinals acknowledge resignation is possible
