Mark Williams Stats

Charlotte Hornets center Mark Williams (thumb) underwent successful surgery to repair a torn ligament in his right thumb on Wednesday. The rookie big man moved into the rotation during the second half of the season. He took over as the starting center after Mason Plumlee was moved at the trade deadline. In the 18 games he appeared in after the trade deadline, Williams averaged 11.7 points, 9.7 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks per game. He shot nearly 63% from the field during that stretch. Williams has the potential to be a legitimate fantasy asset heading into next season. Although, it depends on what the Hornets do in free agency, but Williams value is trending in the right direction.

Charlotte Hornets center Mark Williams (thumb) won't feature Thursday against the Pelicans. He sprained his right thumb a couple of weeks ago and it's robbed him of five games already. Williams has put in a number of impressive performances after Mason Plumlee was shipped off to Los Angeles. With him out, Nick Richards has assumed the starting center position. He has averaged 9.4 points and 9.4 rebounds with 2.4 blocks as a starter, becoming a good option for fantasy managers.

Charlotte Hornets center Mark Williams (thumb) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Williams will miss his third straight game after suffering a right thumb sprain last Thursday. Nick Richards should continue to start in the absence of Williams. The Hornets do not play again until Friday which should give Williams some added rest.
