Charlotte Hornets center Mark Williams, who was acquired by the Lakers at the trade deadline before the deal was rescinded over a failed physical, took to social media and posted the infamous "funeral" meme after the Lakers' 103-96 loss: Williams also tweeted a smiley face, making it clear that he was pleased with Wednesday's result:

The Lakers' season came to a close on Tuesday night at the hands of the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 5 of their playoff series, and Williams decided to weigh in on social media. It was all of ... one smiley emoji posted on X (formerly Twitter).

The center who L.A. acquired and then sent back to Charlotte due to a failed physical taunted the Lakers after their early playoff exit.
