December 3, 2018 – Charlotte Hornets forward Marvin Williams underwent a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) exam today which confirmed he has suffered a right shoulder strain. The injury occurred with 8:45 remaining in the second quarter of Charlotte’s loss to the New Orleans Pelicans last night. Williams will be listed as out for Wednesday’s game at Minnesota and will be re-evaluated next week. Further updates on his status will be provided when available.
