When the Hornets dealt Mark Williams and acquired Jusuf Nurkic, it was not exactly expected for the two to have to play together. The league had other plans, however, with Williams deal to Los Angeles being rescinded.

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.
