Not playing Monday Williams will not play in Monday's game against Virginia due to undisclosed reasons, Donna Ditota of The Post-Standard reports.

Impact Williams has averaged 6.8 points and 4.1 rebounds this season, and he started in all but one of Syracuse's first 21 games. However, the 6-foot-9 sophomore came off the bench for the first time this season during Saturday's 85-70 loss at Virginia Tech, tying his season low for minutes (eight) during this contest. While it appears that Williams has simply fallen out of his starting role, Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim is expected to provide further details on Williams' status following Monday's home game versus Virginia, per Ditota.

Pushed to bench Williams will not start Saturday's game against Virginia Tech.

Impact Williams has started every game he's been available for this season, though he's averaged only 15.6 minutes across his last five contests. He's also shot only 39.1 percent from the field in that span, so the Orange will turn to Maliq Brown as a starter in Williams' place.

Puts up 12 points in loss Williams had 12 points (5-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt), five rebounds and one assist in 31 minutes during Monday's 82-78 loss to Miami (FL).

Impact Syracuse came up short of topping the Hurricanes in this one, and while Williams is not a player that tends to make an impact regularly on the box score, he did announce his presence here with a decent scoring performance. He has scored in double digits in five of his last eight games.

Scores 13 points again Williams posted 13 points (5-10 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and one assist across 24 minutes during Monday's 86-71 victory over Monmouth.

Impact Williams has posted back-to-back double-digit scoring figures for the first time this season. While he has proven he can contribute offensively, he hasn't been consistent enough to be valuable across all formats. Still, the sophomore is seeing an uptick in his numbers compared to what he did as a freshman. He's averaging 7.8 points and 4.6 rebounds per game as a starter, as opposed to the 1.9 points and 1.4 rebounds he delivered off the bench in 2021-22.

Syracuse's John Bol Ajak had no idea he would fill in for a sick Benny Williams in loss to Bryant: 'I was ready to go' John Bol Ajak, a 6-10 redshirt junior, recorded career-highs in rebounds, assists, steals and minutes in SU's loss to Bryant.

Dealing with illness Williams totaled zero points (0-1 FG) and one steal in nine minutes during Saturday's 73-72 loss to Bryant.

Impact Williams was not close to full strength in this one, as he was battling an illness. Williams played 45 minutes in the team's previous game against St. John's. Syracuse plays again on Tuesday against Illinois so hopefully Williams is closer to 100 percent then.

NOVEMBER 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Goes for double-double Williams closed with 11 points (5-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt), 10 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 45 minutes during Tuesday's 76-69 OT loss to St. John's.

Impact Williams had a strong performance, making his presence felt on both ends of the court and posting his first double-double of the campaign. He's only scored in double digits twice this season, but he's still been a decent performance for the Orange with averages of 8.2 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.8 steals and 1.2 assists per game across 34.2 minutes in his first year as a starter with the program.

NOVEMBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Goes for 17 points Williams closed with 17 points (6-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 38 minutes during Tuesday's 80-68 loss to Colgate.

Impact Williams only scored two points in the season opener, but he bounced back admirably here and recorded an impressive offensive performance. The sophomore came off the bench in all of his 29 appearances last season, but he is operating as a starter this year and performances like this should boost his case to remain in the starting unit going forward.

Double-double in scrimmage Williams had 15 points (5-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 12 rebounds and two assists across 30 minutes in Tuesday's 86-68 exhibition victory over Indiana (PA).

Impact Williams missed an intrasquad scrimmage earlier this month due to illness, but he was back Tuesday with an efficient shooting line and team-high rebounding performance. The sophomore power forward averaged just 11.5 mpg last season in 29 appearances (zero starts), but he appears bound to make a massive leap in production and should absolutely be on the fantasy radar.
