Mark Williams' physical with the Lakers showed multiple issues and the team failed him on the exam, sources tell ESPN. The physical was not failed due to his back, however.

Undoing the Lakers-Hornets trade:

🏀Lakers are still in roster compliance with 15 players by taking back Dalton Knecht and Cam Reddish, because they had an open roster spot. 2 in, out.

🏀Hornets are +1, but that's because of a hardship exception. So, they'll go back to into compliance with Mark Williams coming back. 1 in, 2 out.

[Sam Dracula @samdracula]

This is so awkward

[Bobby Marks @BobbyMarks42]

The trade was conditional on Mark Williams and Dalton Knecht reporting and passing a physical.

Because the deadline has passed, the trade was not allowed to be amended.

Williams goes back to Charlotte

Knecht/Cam Reddish to LAL

The draft conditions: 2030 swap and 2031 unprotected first are voided.

[Michael Scotto @MikeAScotto]

The Lakers and Hornets trade involving Mark Williams and Dalton Knecht has been rescinded due to failure to satisfy a condition of the trade, Lakers say.

[Rod Boone @rodboone]

#Hornets are signing Elfrid Payton to a 10-day contract, league sources confirm. Jeff Peterson doing some back end roster work.

[Sam Dracula @samdracula]

@LOrangeMusic Peterson and crew are cooking today

Sheeeeeeeeeeeeesh

The Phoenix Suns are trading Jusuf Nurkic and a 2026 first-round pick to the Charlotte Hornets for Cody Martin, Vasilije Micic and a 2026 second-round pick, sources tell ESPN.

[Sam Dracula @samdracula]

W trade

[Shams Charania @ShamsCharania]

Just In: The Los Angeles Lakers are trading Dalton Knecht, Cam Reddish, a 2031 unprotected first-round pick and a 2030 pick swap to the Charlotte Hornets for center Mark Williams, sources tell ESPN.

[Bobby Marks @BobbyMarks42]

No video coming on the Charlotte/OKC 2nd rd. trade

Best way to look at this:

Before the trade

- OKC had a 2030 second from Denver BUT only if the first owed by the Nuggets did not convey in 2029 or 2030.

- Charlotte had a 2030 second from Denver BUT only if the 2029 or 2030 first from Denver to OKC did convey

Post trade

- OKC has a 2030 second from Denver

- Charlotte has a 2029 Phoenix second
