After only sixteen games, Charlotte Hornets forward Grant Williams suffered a season-ending torn ACL in his right knee, and a torn meniscus in a game against the Milwaukee Bucks.
Williams, 26, had been averaging 10.4 points per game up until that point. He was a valuable member of Charles Lee's rotation, with the Hornets going 6-10 before the former Vol went down in late November.
An ACL injury alone typically takes around nine months to recover, and with the torn meniscus it was expected that Grant would likely miss part of the start of the 2025-26 season.
