The Charlotte Hornets traded center Mark Williams to the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday night in exchange for the No. 29 pick of the 2025 NBA draft plus a 2029 first-round pick, adding a fun twist to what was already an exciting evening in the basketball world.

The Hornets are trading away center Mark Williams again four months after a deal to the Lakers fell through following a failed physical. This time, Phoenix is acquiring Mark Williams from the Hornets in exchange for the No. 29 overall pick and a 2029 first-round pick (least favorable of Utah, Cleveland, Minnesota).
