Charlotte Hornets forward Grant Williams (knee) has been ruled out for the team's season opener on Wednesday against the Brooklyn Nets. Williams is still recovering from knee surgery, and there isn't a specific date set for his return. However, considering it's been 11 months since Williams injured his right knee, his comeback could be close. Josh Green (shoulder) also won't be available for the start of the season, which may give rookie Kon Knueppel a large workload right off the bat. The injuries could also open up additional minutes for Tidjane Salaun and Tre Mann.

Charlotte Hornets forward Grant Williams (knee) will not participate in training camp, Roderick Boone of the Charlotte Observer reports. Williams tore his right ACL in late November of last year and needs more time to rehabilitate before he can rejoin the action.

Before injuring his knee, Williams enjoyed a decent start to life in Charlotte, posting 10.4 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 1.1 steals per game. However, due to the serious nature of the injury, it might take some time before Williams can consistently produce similar numbers.

Charlotte Hornets forward Grant Williams (knee) is progressing well and "hitting milestones." The 26-year-old saw his 2024-25 campaign come to an end on Nov. 23, when he suffered a torn ACL in his right knee during a game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Before the injury, Williams averaged 10.4 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 1.1 steals over 29.9 minutes per game.

After undergoing surgery in December, Williams was ruled out for 9-12 months, meaning he might not return to action before 2026.
