So far, the answer is no. Things are already off to a rough start the big man entering his third season. Mere days before the start of camp, the Hornets announced Williams strained a tendon in his left foot during an offseason workout Thursday, and he’ll be out until he’s re-evaluated in at least two weeks.

Hornets' center Mark Williams suffers foot injury, sidelining him from upcoming training camp and requiring re-evaluation in two weeks.

As training camp nears, the Charlotte Hornets roster is nearly finalized. The signing of Harry Giles over the weekend brings the Hornets up to 20 rostered players that will make the short trip up I-85 to train at Duke University in advance of Charlotte's opening tip in Houston on October 23rd.
