Charlotte Hornets forward Grant Williams suffered season-ending tears to his ACL, meniscus and associated ligaments in his right knee, sources told ESPN on Sunday.
Williams, who is averaging 10.4 points, 5.1 rebounds and 2.3 assists this season, was injured late in the fourth quarter of Saturday’s 125-119 loss when he was driving to the basket with just under four minutes remaining.
In his sixth NBA season, Williams established himself as a veteran leader for the Hornets and a starter alongside LaMelo Ball, Brandon Miller and Miles Bridges.
Williams joined the Hornets after a trade deadline trade from the Dallas Mavericks last season.
