Impact Williams has been bothered by a back injury for the majority of the season, as he hasn't played since Dec. 8. Even though General manager Mitch Kupchak suggested in February that Williams is on track to be re-evaluated later this week, it sounds like his status will be week-by-week going forward, which makes sense considering the Hornets have no incentives to rush him in the midst of another non-contending campaign.

Could be done for season Williams (back) may not be cleared to play again this season, as head coach Steve Clifford intimated in his press conference following Tuesday's 101-89 loss to the Magic, Bally Spo...
Impact Clifford didn't specifically touch on Williams' status, but his comment about the Hornets going with smaller lineups for the remainder of the season at the very least suggests that the team isn't bracing for the second-year center's return anytime soon. The Hornets did get some added size back Tuesday with Nick Richards (foot) returning from a one-game absence, and while Richards should start when available, Charlotte will likely lean on the 6-foot-6 Grant Williams as his primary backup, given the lack of reliable alternatives at center on the roster. General manager Mitch Kupchak suggested in February that Mark Williams is on track to be re-evaluated later this week, but fantasy managers who have been holding the young center shouldn't be holding their breath in anticipation of him making a speedy return, if he even plays at all again this season. The Hornets are sitting at 15-47 on the season after Tuesday's loss and have little incentive to rush Williams back from the low-back injury in the midst of another non-contending campaign. Williams has been out of action since Dec. 8.

Impact Williams hasn't played since Dec. 8 due to the injury and will miss his 14th consecutive game Monday. The Hornets initially listed Williams as doubtful ahead of each of his first 12 absences, but he's since taken "out" tags into two straight contests. The change in designation seemingly supports the notion that Williams is without a clear timeline for a return, with Boone noting that the second-year center has been able to take part in pregame work but isn't yet participating in practices. Fantasy managers shouldn't count on Williams playing in any of the Hornets' four games this week.
