Yesterday at 11:17 AM
The Charlotte Hornets may be without one of their key veterans after Grant Williams went down with a knee injury against the Milwaukee Bucks. After suffering the injury, Williams went to the locker room and didn’t return.

The Hornets also ended up losing the game despite LaMelo Ball going for 50 points and becoming the younger player to do so. Hopefully, Williams’ injury isn’t that serious, and he can return to the floor for the Hornets, especially with Miles Bridges going through an injury himself.
So far this season, the Hornets have had an up-and-down start to the season, but head coach Charles Lee has them playing some solid basketball.
Hornets’ young core blossoming early in season
The Hornets seem like they are figuring out their young core, as the past week has been well for both Brandon Miller and LaMelo Ball. Against the Detroit Pistons, Miller scored a career-high 38 points and didn’t even know it.
"I honestly didn't know tonight was my career high," Miller said. "I was just playing basketball and going out there looking to win a ball game in front of a great home crowd tonight.
"I think just my teammates encouraging me to be more aggressive. LaMelo (Ball) fouled out at the end, and I think it was just an opportunity to be more aggressive. I think as a competitor and as a winning teammate, we want to do everything to go out there for 48 minutes and win the ball game."
Against the Bucks, Ball scored 50 points, having his best game of the season despite losing. If the Hornets can get some players back from injury, they can be a team that continues to get better throughout the season and may surprise some people with a play-in chance. Right now, the hope is that Williams isn’t out for a long period of time.
