According to multiple reports, Mark Williams has not returned to the Charlotte Hornets since the Los Angeles Lakers rescinded the trade involving Williams and Dalton Knecht.

Charlotte is giving Williams the ability to reset and to process all that has happened, as when he’ll return to the team is unclear at this moment.

Los Angeles will have Knecht back, with them getting Alex Len as their new center.

The Hornets tried overruling the rescinded trade, but the league denied their option.

According to Jake Fischer, a reunion between Philadelphia and Ben Simmons was explored by the 76ers.

Before the former Rookie of the Year winner signed with the Los Angeles Clippers, the Houston Rockets and Cleveland Cavaliers expressed interest in him. Even Philly had slightly expressed interest in him.

The last time Simmons was in a Sixers’ jersey was back in 2022, before he was traded to the Brooklyn Nets for James Harden. Neither players remain on Philly.

In this season for Brooklyn, the 28-year-old averaged 6.2 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 6.9 assists. In his debut game for the Clippers, he put up 12.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 6.0 assists, 3.0 steals, and a block.

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Dallas Mavericks will be without their starting center for at least six weeks doe to a MCL sprain.

The injury-riddled Mavericks are now without him, Anthony Davis, Dwight Powell, and Dereck Lively II. Their entire frontcourt has been banged up .

For Davis, he is expected to be out at least four weeks due to an adductor strain. For Lively, he remains in a walking boot due to a stress fracture in his right ankle.
