The trade deadline deal set to send Charlotte Hornets center Mark Williams to the Los Angeles Lakers in exchange for rookie forward Dalton Knecht, forward Cam Reddish and future draft capital has been rescinded, according to a report from ESPN's Shams Charania.
The Lakers noted that the trade was rescinded due to "failure to satisfy a condition of the trade." ESPN's Bobby Marks reported that the trade was conditional on Mark Williams and Dalton Knecht reporting to their new teams and passing physicals. Williams was the one who failed the physical with the Lakers, according to Charania. The physical reportedly showed "multiple issues" and the team failed him on the exam. However, Williams's back, which has kept him in and out of the lineup, was not the reason for the failed physical.
