I copy and pasted this from someone else. Might not be all of it, but seems to be the gist:

Instead, the trade was off, leaving Williams stunned.
“My agent told me,” Williams said. “I didn’t think I had failed my physical. That didn’t even cross my mind. The night I got traded I played hella minutes. I didn’t think in any world that was possible. Since I’ve been back since the start of the year, I’ve played games with a lot of minutes. I feel like every injury I’ve had has been well-documented and I’ve recovered and been 100% since.
“So, I don’t know what went into that decision. I think that’s up to them.”
Balancing the emotions of the Lakers failing Williams despite him feeling otherwise about his health prognosis is quite a mental chore.
“Yeah, there’s not really much I can do,” Williams said. “Like I said, I’ve been playing. You went from shocked to excited, back to shocked. You control what you can control.”
Similar to the mentality Williams is now taking: letting his game do the talking.
“Yeah, I think the biggest thing for me is showing I’m healthy,” Williams said. “Like I said, I didn’t think there was a world (where) I’d fail a physical. So, I’m just excited to play.
“I get it’s a business, right? What I got traded for, picks, players … Like I said, it’s a business. Obviously, on their side, they thought I could have contributed to them winning going into the playoffs, whatever. And now I’m back here. I’m back with the guys, excited.”
