Grant Williams Fantasy Stats

Charlotte Hornets forward/center Grant Williams (knee) will sit out Thursday's meeting with his former team, the Dallas Mavericks. The Hornets conclude a back-to-back set, and, understandably, Williams won't feature on Thursday after returning from a serious knee injury only a few weeks ago. Across his first eight outings of the campaign, Williams has contributed 4.9 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 1.0 assists in 17.4 minutes. His numbers should pick up soon once Williams gets more comfortable on the court, as he is currently making under 32 percent of his field-goal attempts. With Williams out on Thursday, Tidjane Salaun could re-enter the rotation.

Charlotte Hornets PR announced that Charlotte Hornets forward Grant Williams (knee) won't suit up against the Orlando Magic on Thursday due to right knee injury management. Williams has played in five games this season since recovering from an ACL tear that kept him out of action since November 2024. With Williams sidelined, Josh Green and Sion James could land expanded roles in the Hornets frontcourt during tonight's clash.

Charlotte Hornets forward Grant Williams (knee) will be active on Saturday night against the Utah Jazz. He's in line for his season debut after recovering from an ACL tear. Williams hasn't played since November 2024. It will be good to see him back on the court, but the 27-year-old is likely to have a strict minutes restriction. Once he's back at 100 percent, Williams will compete for playing time with Josh Green, Tidjane Salaun, and Sion James.

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. The 26-year-old does not have a specific timeline for his recovery, but Boone notes that he may not be "far off" from returning. 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. Williams showed that he can make a fantasy impact as a member of the Hornets, but it remains to be seen whether he will reach similar performance levels next season. After undergoing surgery in December, Williams was ruled out for 9-12 months, meaning he might not return to action before 2026.

Charlotte Hornets forward Grant Williams (knee) received some bad news following his exit from Saturday's contest. Williams is reportedly expected to miss the rest of the season after suffering a torn ACL. This is a tough break for the Hornets as Williams was playing big minutes for them. He's averaging 10.4 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 2.3 assists in 29 minutes per game this season. The Hornets are already banged up with Nick Richards (ribs) and Mark Williams (foot) sidelined right now. In the short term, Moussa Diabate figures to see more minutes in the rotation. Once healthy, Richards should have a significant role and is looking like a great stash where he's available.

Charlotte Hornets forward Grant Williams (back) will take the court against the Pacers on Friday despite dealing with some lower back soreness earlier in the day. He was initially listed as probable after sustaining the injury during Wednesday's win over the Pistons. With Miles Bridges (knee) out, the 25-year-old is expected to be part of the starting lineup. Across eight contests, Williams is averaging 8.6 points, 2.6 assists, and 4.0 rebounds in 26.0 minutes per game.

Charlotte Hornets forward Grant Williams (ankle) won't play in Friday's matchup with the Celtics. He's battling a sprained right ankle. But with the Hornets having nothing left to play for, Williams likely won't see the floor again this season. With Nick Richards (foot) also out, Williams could have handled things at the five. But with both men out, Aleksej Pokusevski is nearly a lock for all DFS contests.

Charlotte Hornets forward Grant Williams (ankle) has received a questionable tag on Friday for a revenge game against the Boston Celtics. The former Celtic has been inconsistent to say the least, but he's hit a bit of a rhythm lately as he continues to be a starter for the Hornets. With a lot of the core not able to play, Williams is likely to get as many opportunities as possible if he plays in this game. It's unclear if the Celtics are going to be resting their starters since their injury report hasn't been submitted, but Williams' value would increase if that was the case. If he can't suit up, however, Davis Bertans and Aleksej Pokusevski would be quality streaming options.
