The transfer market seemed to conclude with the signing of Mark Williams by the Los Angeles Lakers. However, the Angelino franchise was left without a starting center after pulling out of the deal with the Charlotte Hornets. The reason was that the player did not pass the medical examination. At least, that's what was said.

In this way, Dalton Knecht, Cam Reddish, and the draft picks acquired by the Hornets returned to the Lakers. During Adam Silver's press conference at the All-Star Weekend, the NBA commissioner spoke about what had happened and the consequences.

Silver stated that the Hornets have not lodged any formal protest regarding the termination of the trade by the Lakers. So, everything will remain as an interesting anecdote.

The Lakers and the Hornets had agreed to a trade that would have sent center Mark Williams from Charlotte to LA. The Hornets were set to receive Dalton Knecht, Cam Reddish, a 2031 first-round pick, and a swap for a 2030 first-round pick.
