The Charlotte Hornets frontcourt is getting a reinforcement. Grant Williams is probable to make his season debut on Saturday at the Chicago Bulls.
Williams has missed the first part of the season while rehabbing from a torn ACL he suffered in late November of 2024. The Hornets frontcourt can use the additional depth, as Miles Bridges is the only real power forward on the roster. In addition, rookie starting center Ryan Kalkbrenner and backup center Mason Plumlee have missed recent games due to injuries.
In 45 games since joining Charlotte at the 2024 trade deadline, Williams has averaged 12.6 points, 5.1 rebounds and 2.9 assists per game. That’s the most consistent production Williams has had in his five-year career.
