Injuries to Mark Williams and Nick Richards leaves Charlotte undersized but provides an opportunity for Moussa Diabate to shine.

The Charlotte Hornets have done an admiral job at taking on oversized NBA competition with their undersized interior, but their time lacking size seems to be nearing its end. According to Hornets PR, both Nick Richards and Mark Williams both are progressing in their return to play programs.

The Charlotte Hornets have been without their two main centers, Mark Williams and Nick Richards, through the first 14 games of the season so far. Williams has yet to play a game in the 2024-25 season with his foot issues while Richards has appeared in five games.
