Grant Williams Enters 2026-27 Off a Down Year, Clean Injury Report
newsroom · 36 min agoGrant Williams is back with the Charlotte Hornets for 2026-27, wearing No. 2 after a 2025-26 season limited to 36 games. He is not on the injury report right now. With no 2026-27 games played yet, the numbers on hand are last season's, and the opener is still ahead.
Where Grant Williams stands right now
Grant Williams is on the Hornets roster for the 2026-27 season, wearing No. 2 and listed at forward. He is not on the injury report at this point, so there is no health concern hanging over him heading into the year. The 2026-27 season has not started yet, so there are no current games, current stats, or a current record to report. Everything below comes from his 2025-26 season, his most recent full body of work with Charlotte. Williams enters the year at 27 years old, in his seventh NBA season, after playing his college ball at Tennessee. At 6-7 and 236 pounds, he remains built to play both forward spots and to guard multiple positions when healthy.
Last season by the numbers
Williams played 36 games for Charlotte last season (2025-26), a total that points to missed time somewhere on the schedule. In those 36 games he averaged 19.8 minutes, 7.0 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.5 blocks. His turnover rate was low at 0.9 per game. Those numbers describe a role player who came off the bench or logged limited minutes rather than an every-night starter workload. The scoring and rebounding totals track with that reduced playing time, not with a drop in what he can do per minute on the floor. Charlotte (CHA) was his team for all of last season, the same team he is on now for 2026-27.
Shooting profile from 2025-26
Efficiency was the strong part of Williams's 2025-26 season. He shot 42.6 percent from the field, 38.8 percent from three-point range, and 81.5 percent from the free-throw line. His true shooting percentage came in at 60.9, a solid number built on the three-point accuracy and the free-throw mark. For a forward whose role leans on floor spacing, hitting close to 39 percent from deep last season is the headline number. The free-throw percentage backs up that he is a reliable option when he does get to the line, even if the volume of shots was limited by his 19.8 minutes per game.
Role and usage last season
Williams's usage rate sat at 13.2 percent last season, a figure consistent with a complementary role rather than a primary scoring option. His plus-minus was 5.6, positive over his time on the floor in 2025-26. He posted 1.6 assists per game, modest playmaking numbers that fit a forward who is more spot-up shooter and floor-spacer than ball handler. The 0.9 turnovers per game is low, showing he did not put the ball on the floor much or take on high-risk possessions. Taken together, the profile is a low-usage, efficient, positive-impact role player last season, someone Charlotte could plug in without needing him to create shots.
What's ahead for Grant Williams
With the 2026-27 season not yet underway, the next marker for Williams is the season opener. There is no current injury designation, no recent-game log, and no reported trade rumor tied to him right now, so the picture heading into camp is a clean one: a healthy veteran forward entering his seventh season, coming off a 36-game 2025-26 campaign with efficient shooting numbers but a limited role. Fans watching Charlotte's forward rotation will be looking to see whether his minutes and usage grow from last season's 19.8 minutes and 13.2 usage rate once games actually tip off.
