Hornets' Mark Williams (back) out again Friday

The Charlotte Hornets have ruled out Mark Williams (back) for Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls.

What It Means:

Williams will miss a 13th-straight game as he sits on Friday. The young center has been dealing with a back injury but will hopefully be able to return soon. Expect Nick Richards to continue starting in his absence.

Richards is projected for 33.7 FanDuel points against Chicago, with 13.5 points, 10.7 rebounds, and 1.4 assists.
