The Los Angeles Lakers have decided to rescind their trade agreement with the Charlotte Hornets to acquire center Mark Williams. This decision was made after Williams failed his physical examination, as reported by a source familiar with the situation.
The Lakers had initially agreed to trade rookie Dalton Knecht and Cam Reddish, along with draft considerations, in exchange for the 23-year-old Williams. The team was in need of a quality big man following the departure of Anthony Davis in a trade with the Dallas Mavericks for Luka Doncic.
