The injury happened when Williams was driving to the basket and collided with Bucks center Brook Lopez. After losing his balance, he grabbed his knee and went down.<\/p>\n<p>A slow-motion replay showed just how bad it looked. Williams had to be helped off the court and didn\u2019t return to the game. After the game, Hornets head coach Charles Lee confirmed the injury but didn\u2019t provide many details. \u201c<em>It\u2019s just been diagnosed right now as a knee injury. We\u2019ll continue to get some imaging and some evaluations. The most important thing is that all of our prayers are with Grant, and we hope that some of the news comes back as good as possible<\/em>,\u201d Lee said.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Grant Williams had to be helped off the court after suffering an apparent knee injury late in Hornets-Bucks.<\/p>\n<p>Hope he\u2019s okay \ud83d\ude4f\ud83c\udffd<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/puF9bIRY4I\">pic.twitter.com\/puF9bIRY4I<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 ClutchPoints (@ClutchPoints) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ClutchPoints\/status\/1860523652103782439?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 24, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Before going down, Williams had put up 8 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 block in 32 minutes.

With Bridges also sidelined, the team has fewer options, and though they\u2019re hoping Williams\u2019 injury isn\u2019t as bad as it looks, they\u2019ll have to prepare for a stretch without him.<\/p>\n<p>This injury is raising some concerns about the Hornets\u2019 season. Despite the setbacks, the team has shown some bright spots, with Ball\u2019s 50-point game and Miller\u2019s career-high 38 points against the Pistons showing that the young core is starting to click. The Hornets are still hoping to stay competitive, but Williams\u2019 health and the rest of the team\u2019s injured players will be crucial moving forward.<\/p>\n<p>For now, the Hornets are waiting for more imaging to figure out the full extent of Williams\u2019 injury. Fans and teammates are hoping for the best, but the team\u2019s immediate future will depend on how they adjust to yet another key player potentially being out.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; The Charlotte Hornets are dealing with another tough injury after forward\u00a0Grant Williams\u00a0hurt his knee in the final moments of their 125-119 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":14938,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14937","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14937","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=14937"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14937\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14939,"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14937\/revisions\/14939"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/14938"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=14937"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=14937"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/usdailys.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=14937"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
