“The Charlotte Hornets have been in contact with the NBA as they explore options to dispute the Los Angeles Lakers ' failed physical assessment of Mark Williams, sources tell ESPN,” Shams Charania said in a post. “The Williams/Dalton Knecht trade was nixed Saturday, and now Hornets weigh avenues to challenge.”

The Lakers may pursue a former Boston Celtics role player if he remains in the U.S. “Daniel Theis is the best center available at the moment, but he's only 6-foot-8 and not at all the lob threat (Luka) Doncic prefers,” CBS Sports’ Sam Quinn wrote Sunday. The Oklahoma City Thunder waived Theis after trading for him on Feb. 5.

The blockbuster trade that sent former Duke basketball player Mark Williams to the Los Angeles Lakers is no longer happening, per an ESPN report.
