A week ago, Charlotte Hornets forward Marvin Williams suffered a right shoulder injury that briefly left no feeling in his arm. Five days later, Williams started against the Denver Nuggets.
“You’ve got to give Marvin a lot of credit; most guys would not have played,” Hornets coach James Borrego said Saturday. “This is not an injury (that heals easily), especially on his shooting shoulder. He’s a warrior. He’s a competitor. He wanted to be out there with his team. He battles.”
The Hornets originally projected Williams would miss a minimum of a week after he was examined Monday.
