Williams (hip) is available for Sunday's game against the Knicks, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports. Williams has yet to miss a game this season. He's played at least 26 minutes in three straight games (two starts), averaging 14.7 points, 7.7 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 27.3 minutes during that stretch.
Williams is questionable for Sunday's game against the Knicks due to right hip tightness, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports. Williams is in danger of missing his first game of the season with the injury, though a decision on his status should be made closer to Sunday's tipoff at 7 p.m. ET. The forward is averaging 9.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.0 steals per game across 13 outings (two starts) this season.
Williams is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Knicks, Ian Begley of SportsNet New York reports. Williams will return to his regular bench role since Dorian Finney-Smith will return to the first unit. Williams is averaging 8.3 points and 4.0 boards per game when coming off the bench this season.
Williams closed Wednesday's 139-114 loss to the Celtics with 23 points (8-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 26 minutes. Williams continues to play well in place of Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle), an unlikely outcome considering Williams was averaging 8.3 points in his first 10 appearances off the bench. The Stanford product has tallied 12 and now 23 points in two straight starts while collecting 15 total rebounds along the way. Given Williams' recent success, look for him to draw another start Friday in New York if Finney-Smith can't go.
Williams recorded 12 points (3-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, one block and one steal over 28 minutes during Monday's 107-105 victory over New Orleans. Williams entered the starting five in place of Dorian Finney-Smith, who was shut down Monday night due to an ankle injury. Williams saw a sizable boost in playing time as a result, and he made the most of his opportunity by turning in his best scoring output since Oct. 30. He also ended the game tied with Nic Claxton for the team lead in rebounds.
Williams will enter the starting lineup in Monday's game against the Pelicans, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports. With Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) missing his first game of the year, Williams will receive his first start of the season. The 23-year-old has carved out a significant role off the bench thus far, and he has averaged 8.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.0 steals across 19.9 minutes per game in 10 regular-season outings.
Williams registered nine points (4-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds and one assist over 23 minutes in Friday's 108-104 overtime loss to the Celtics. Williams' 12 rebounds Friday were not only the most on the Nets but also a career high as he surpassed his 10-rebound effort against the Wizards on Oct. 28, 2023 as a member of the Grizzlies. Williams has been a key piece off the bench for the Nets this year, and he has played at least 20 minutes in five of the last six regular-season games.
Williams chipped in two points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two steals and one assist in 21 minutes during Monday's 106-104 victory over the Grizzlies. Williams was a non-factor on the offensive end against his former squad. The 23-year-old reached double-digit points in three straight outings, though in his last two regular-season appearances he has amassed only six points, four rebounds, two steals and an assist while shooting a combined 2-for-7 from the field and 0-for-5 from three-point range. The fourth-year forward has yet to play fewer than 16 minutes in a game this year, though the eventual return of Noah Clowney (hip), Trendon Watford (hamstring) and Bojan Bogdanovic (foot) could affect Williams' playing time.
Williams registered 17 points (6-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), one rebound, three assists, one block and four steals over 24 minutes during Wednesday's 119-106 victory over the Grizzlies. Williams might have played off the bench in this game, but he made his presence felt on both ends of the court as soon as he entered the contest. The fourth-year forward, who was facing his former team for the first time in his career, has been trending in the right direction recently and has scored in double digits in back-to-back games after a slow start to the campaign.
