Mark Williams - Now ruled out Wednesday Despite being left off the injury report that Charlotte released, Williams won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Magic.

Impact Williams will continue to sit out Wednesday while Charlotte attempts to challenge the findings from the 23-year-old big man's physical that caused the trade that would've sent him to Los Angeles to be rescinded. Until the matter is resolved, Moussa Diabate (eye) should continue to start with Taj Gibson and Jusuf Nurkic competing for backup center minutes.

Moussa Diabaté - Iffy for Wednesday Diabate (eye) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Magic.

Impact Diabate sustained the right eye abrasion during Sunday's loss to Detroit. The big man was able to suit up in Monday's loss to the Nets, though he exited the game early due to the right eye abrasion. With Mark Williams (not injury related) off of the injury report, Jusuf Nurkic and Taj Gibson could see a slight bump in minutes if Diabate is sidelined.
