Grant Williams News, Rumors, Updates - Charlotte Hornets

Goes for 20 points off bench Williams racked up 20 points (8-17 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one steal across 32 minutes during Friday's 107-96 loss to the Suns.

Impact Williams was one of Charlotte's best players in this loss to Phoenix despite coming off the bench. He made his presence felt on both ends of the court, and this 20-point effort extended his recent scoring streak. He's now recorded 18 or more points in each of his last three appearances, a span in which he's also shooting 48.8 percent from the field and 35.3 percent from three-point range.

Top scorer off bench in victory Williams provided 18 points (6-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 110-98 victory over the Grizzlies.

Impact Williams returned to Charlotte's bench after starting in four of the Hornets' last five games, leading all bench players in scoring while hauling in a team-high-tying rebound mark and ending two point short of the 20-point mark in a winning effort. Williams has tallied 18 or more points in nine games this season, three of which have occurred while coming off the bench. He has posted at least 18 points and six boards in three outings this year.

Rejoins reserves Williams will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.

Impact Williams had started in four of the Hornets' last five games, but he'll return to the second unit for Wednesday's tilt. Williams will likely be one of Charlotte's top options off the bench.

High-usage returns Williams racked up 22 points (6-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 8-9 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two steals over 32 minutes during Monday's 114-97 loss to the Pistons.

Impact Williams used 22 of Charlotte's 95 possessions Monday, trailing only Miles Bridges (28 possessions). Williams being a focal point is not overly conducive to Charlotte winning, but it certainly has fantasy dividends. He has been volatile of late, but there is upside similar to Monday's production as long as Williams continues having a large minute share as coach Steve Clifford's offensive chess piece in the frontcourt.

MARCH 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to starting lineup Williams will start Friday's game against the Wizards.

Impact With Tre Mann (groin) out, the Hornets will go big with Williams, who'll be flanked by Vasilije Micic, Brandon Miller, Miles Bridges and Nick Richards. In his only other start with the Hornets, Williams posted 18 points, 13 rebounds, five assists, one steal and one blocks in 40 minutes during a loss in Toronto.

MARCH 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Moves back to bench Williams isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Magic.

Impact Nick Richards (foot) will reclaim his starting spot from Williams on Tuesday. Williams is averaging 12.9 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 27.3 minutes across his last 10 appearances coming off the bench.

MARCH 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Double-double in Sunday's start Williams produced 18 points (6-13 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 13 rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 40 minutes during Sunday's 111-106 loss to Toronto.

Impact Making his first start as a member of the Hornets, Williams delivered his second double-double of the season. The fifth-year big has looked good with his new club, averaging 14.2 points, 5.8 boards, 2.2 assists and 1.8 threes over the last 10 games, but Sunday's shift to the starting five could last only as long as Nick Richards (foot) is sidelined.

MARCH 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Starting at center Sunday Williams (back) will start Sunday's game against the Raptors.

Impact With Nick Richards (foot) sidelined, Williams will make his first start with the Hornets. Williams has come off the bench in each of his first nine appearances with Charlotte, but he's scored in double figures eight times, averaging 13.8 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 28.0 minutes per game.

MARCH 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not on injury report Williams (back) isn't listed on the injury report for Friday's game against the 76ers.

Impact Williams was initially listed as probable, but that report has been deleted. Brandon Miller is now listed as probable with a back injury, so it's possible the first report was simply a mistake. Either way, Williams and Miller should both be available Friday night and play sizable roles for a Hornets squad that remains without LaMelo Ball (ankle) indefinitely.

MARCH 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Likely to play despite back issue Williams is probable for Friday's game against the 76ers due to low-back pain.

Impact Williams bounced back from back-to-back single-digit outings to notch 17 points versus the Bucks on Thursday. He's emerged from that contest with back soreness but should still suit up for the second night of Charlotte's current back-to-back set.

MARCH 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Strong showing off bench Williams accumulated 17 points (5-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-6 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one block over 30 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 111-99 loss to the Bucks.

Impact After managing only nine total points in his prior two games combined, Williams bounced back with a productive night. The fifth-year big has seen his numbers pick up since being traded by the Mavericks, and through eight games with the Hornets, he's averaging 13.9 points, 4.9 boards, 2.1 threes and 1.9 assists in 28.1 minutes a contest.

Hits for 24 off bench Williams amassed 24 points (7-16 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two assists and one steal over 27 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 115-107 win over the Jazz.

Impact In his fourth game as a member of the Hornets, Williams posted big scoring numbers, although his lack of boards was curious. Since the deadline trade that brought him over from the Mavericks, the 25-year-old big is averaging 18.8 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.0 threes, 2.0 assists and 0.8 steals in 29.3 minutes a contest, and he's quickly become a big part of Charlotte's second unit.

Records double-double Williams ended Wednesday's 122-99 victory over the Hawks with 15 points (7-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt), 10 rebounds, two assists and two steals in 27 minutes.

Impact It's only been three games off the bench, but there's no question Williams is having an excellent start to his Charlotte career, scoring at least 15 points in each of his outings and averaging a healthy 30.0 minutes per game in that role. Williams is proving to be valuable in several formats due to his workload off the bench, but it remains to be seen if he'll maintain this workload in the coming weeks.
