After the Lakers traded for Luka Doncic, they nearly got Mark Williams from the Hornets, too. The two teams meet Wednesday. Here's what happened.

The Lakers were called out by Mark Williams's representation after failing his physical and sending him back to the Hornets.

"The overwhelming sentiment, after conferring with multiple, nationally recognized doctors, is that the Los Angeles Lakers should not have failed Mark Williams on his physical," Schwartz said in the statement. "Mark was ready and able to play for them and should have been given that opportunity."
