Charlotte Hornets forward Grant Williams will miss the rest of the season because of a serious right knee injury he suffered late in the team’s 125-119 loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday, ESPN reported.
Williams tore his ACL, meniscus and other ligaments on a play during which he drove to the basket with 3:52 left on the clock, per ESPN.
On the season, Williams is averaging 10.4 points, 5.1 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 16 games (seven starts). He is one of six players scoring in double figures for the Hornets (6-10).
Williams, who turns 26 next week, was drafted by the Boston Celtics in 2019. The Hornets acquired him in a trade with the Dallas Mavericks in February.
In his career, Williams has averages of 7.2 points, 3.7 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 380 games (108 starts) with the three teams.
