Mark Williams spoke to the press after the Charlotte Hornets' 100-97 win over the Los Angeles Lakers. He noted that the entire situation with the Lakers, his failed medical, and the subsequent rescinded trade was a rollercoaster journey.

The Los Angeles Lakers and Charlotte Hornets had an unusual game on Wednesday, facing off after their trade for Mark Williams fell apart. It was the first game Williams played for Charlotte since he reportedly failed his physical and then had to return to the team that had agreed on a deal that would send him to Los Angeles.

Dončić's defense was so poor that Redick pulled him off the floor for Los Angeles' last true defensive possession. It didn't help. LaMelo Ball, a winning basketball player despite the prevailing narrative, dusted Jarred Vanderbilt for a deuce that put the game out of reach.
