The Charlotte Hornets will be without two key veterans when training camp starts in less than two weeks. Forward Grant Williams and wing Josh Green will both be sidelined for training camp, as they recover from injures that occurred last season.
Williams is working his way back from a torn right ACL and meniscus that he suffered last November. Green is rehabbing from a left shoulder surgery that he underwent in June.
Hornets head coach Charles Lee said that there isn’t a timeline for either Williams or Green to return. He said both players are progressing well, but that Williams is a bit further ahead in the process than Green is.
Being without Williams is a blow to a Hornets squad that is a bit light on frontcourt depth. Charlotte has a deep wing rotation, including rookies Kon Knueppel, Liam McNeeley and Sion James. In addition, Brandon Miller is returning from a season-ending wrist injury. Miller should have no restrictions when camp opens.
