SALT LAKE CITY — Los Angeles Lakers rookie Dalton Knecht said “it felt like a movie” after being traded to the Charlotte Hornets and then back to the Lakers after Los Angeles rescinded the trade three days later over a failed physical by Hornets center Mark Williams.

After the Lakers traded for Luka Doncic, they nearly got Mark Williams from the Hornets, too. The two teams meet Wednesday. Here's what happened.

In another serving of NBA irony, Mark Williams is expected to make his Charlotte Hornets return after a failed trade to the Los Angeles Lakers against the Lakers.
