AJ Lawson is the Mavericks player with the most to prove during the team's upcoming 2024-25 NBA training camp.

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.

The Post’s Brian Lewis takes a deep dive into the Nets’ 2024-25 roster before training camp begins. Coach Jordi Fernandez insists Claxton can win Defensive Player of the Year. The rising young center might be the most complete player on the roster.

It’s not an earth-shattering move, but weeks ahead of the start of the San Antonio Spurs’ NBA training camp, the team made a move that opened up a roster spot — kind of. In waiving Jamaree Bouyea, they now have a slot to sign a player to a two-way contract.

Charlotte Hornets center Mark Williams will sit out training camp and the start of preseason because of a strained tendon in his left foot, the team announced Friday. Williams sustained the injury in a workout Thursday.

After a pair of injury-plagued seasons, the Charlotte Hornets were hoping to begin the 2024-25 season healthier and stay that way longer. Instead, they’ll be missing a projected starter out of the gate.

Training camp is less than a week away from beginning, which means the Hornets season is just around the corner. After what felt like one of the longest off-seasons, it's now time for the team to start getting ready for the season.
