Hornets forward likely to return Thursday against Phoenix

Grant Williams is likely to make his season debut Thursday as the Charlotte Hornets face the Phoenix Suns.

The Charlotte Hornets are set to welcome back veteran forward Grant Williams for the first game of their five-game road trip on Thursday. Williams had been sidelined for the initial 11 games of the season due to injury concerns. With his return, head coach Charles Lee gains a valuable defender at the forward position, capable of shooting beyond the arc effectively.

In three seasons with the Hornets, Williams has amassed an impressive average of 10.1 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 0.7 steals per game, along with contributing 0.5 blocks. His shooting accuracy from beyond the arc stands at 37.7%. Currently, center Moussa Diabate and forwards Dennis Schroder, Kon Knueppel, and Brandon Miller are still sidelined and will not play in Thursday's matchup against the Phoenix Suns.
