Saturday’s game was the first for Williams since November 2024, and he wasted no time getting up shots. All ten of his shots were three-pointers, of which he made three. Williams played 14 minutes, which Charlotte’s 55-point win may have inflated. There’s no need to add Williams after one game, but the ability to play either power forward or center may ensure him of rotation minutes the rest of the way.

Williams hasn’t played since tearing his ACL in 2024, but he popped up on the injury report as probable ahead of this game. He’s now officially been cleared to suit up, though his minutes will likely be limited in his first game in 14 months.

Inactive since suffering a torn right ACL in November of 2024, Williams is on track to make his season debut on Saturday. Given the time missed, expect the forward’s minutes to be restricted in his first few games back. Williams doesn’t affect fantasy basketball immediately, but his return may result in fewer minutes for Tidjane Salaün.

There were already reports that both players would miss camp, but not having any idea of when they’ll be healthy is pretty typical for the Hornets. Their lack of clarity when it comes to injury reporting in recent years has been a frustration. Hopefully they’ll provide a better timeline soon, but don’t count on it. With Kon Knueppel in the mix now, neither Williams nor Green was likely going to start or be impactful in fantasy basketball anyway.

Williams tore his right ACL last November. While the veteran forward does not have a defined return timeline, it was reported recently that he has been moving well during workouts. With Charlotte trading Mark Williams (Phoenix) and Jusuf Nurkić (Utah) during the offseason, there will be room for a healthy Grant Williams to earn rotation minutes, even with the additions of Ryan Kalkbrenner and Mason Plumlee. However, that may not be enough to make Williams fantasy-relevant in standard leagues.
