Not starting vs. Minnesota Williams won't start against the Timberwolves on Friday.

Impact The 26-year-old point guard got the starting nod in Dallas' final outing before the All-Star break, though he'll slide to the second unit Friday in favor of Tyus Jones. Over his last five appearances off the bench, Williams has averaged 13.6 points, 3.0 assists and 2.2 rebounds in 19.2 minutes per game.

Productive in Thursday's start Williams produced 17 points (6-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 29 minutes during Thursday's 124-104 loss to the Lakers.

Impact Getting his first start since Jan. 17 with Cooper Flagg (foot) in street clothes, Williams posted his highest assist total since Dec. 5 while scoring in double digits for the seventh time in the last eight games. Over that span, the fourth-year guard is averaging 15.5 points, 3.8 assists, 3.1 boards and 0.8 threes in 21.9 minutes.

Joining starting lineup Williams is starting Thursday's game against the Lakers, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

Impact Williams will make his first start since Jan. 17 as the Mavs are without Cooper Flag (foot) Thursday. Williams fared well in his last start, ending the night with 22 points, four rebounds, five assists and two steals in 28 minutes.

FEBRUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Productive in Dallas debut Williams totaled 18 points (8-12 FG, 2-2 3Pt), three rebounds, four assists and one steal over 24 minutes during Saturday's 138-125 loss to the Spurs.

Impact Williams was cleared to return Saturday from a two-game absence due to a right lower-leg contusion. He came out firing with nine points in the first quarter and finished as the Mavericks' second-leading scorer behind Klay Thompson (19 points). Williams has scored at least 15 points in eight of his last 10 outings (two starts), and he has averaged 16.8 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.1 assists over 21.7 minutes per game over that span.

Won't play vs. Spurs Williams (lower leg) is out for Thursday's game against San Antonio, Noah Weber of TheSmokingCuban.com reports.

Impact Williams is in line for a second consecutive absence due to a lower leg bruise. Klay Thompson and Miles Kelly will presumably be asked to step up in Williams' place Thursday night.

Tagged as questionable Thursday Williams (lower leg) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Spurs.

Impact Williams was unable to play in the Mavericks' 110-100 loss to the Celtics on Tuesday due to a right lower leg contusion. If he's cleared to return Thursday, then Williams would be in line for more minutes off the bench after Jaden Hardy was traded to the Wizards on Wednesday, though that assumes that Dallas newcomers AJ Johnson and Malaki Branham are not cleared to play.

FEBRUARY 4 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Tuesday Williams (lower leg) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Celtics, Eddie Sefko of the Mavericks' official site reports.

Impact As expected, Williams will miss his first game since Jan. 12 due to a lower right leg contusion. Jaden Hardy and Ryan Nembhard are candidates for increased playing time due to Williams being sidelined. His next opportunity to play will come Thursday against the Spurs.

Downgraded to doubtful Williams is doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Celtics with a right lower-leg contusion

Impact After being listed as questionable, Williams is now unlikely to play Tuesday. Ryan Nembhard could now see enough playing time at point guard to work his way into the streaming mix in deeper fantasy leagues.

FEBRUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Tuesday Williams (lower leg) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Celtics.

Impact Williams suffered a right lower leg contusion that forced an early exit from Saturday's game against the Rockets and now clouds his availability for Tuesday's contest. If the 26-year-old is unable to suit up, Ryan Nembhard is a strong candidate to absorb minutes in the backcourt.

Suffers leg contusion Williams suffered a right lower leg contusion Saturday against the Rockets and will not return, Christian Clark of The Athletic reports.

Impact Williams banged knees with Reed Sheppard and was hobbling pretty good. He was having a productive game prior to leaving, finishing with 13 points (5-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and one turnover across nine minutes. Ryan Nembhard could pick up some minutes as a result.

FEBRUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Continues productive stretch Williams closed with 15 points (6-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound, six assists and two steals in 21 minutes during Thursday's 123-121 loss to the Hornets.

Impact Williams reached the 15-point mark for the fourth straight game, and for the seventh time across his last eight appearances. The fourth-year guard continues to have a solid season even if he's moved to a bench role. He's averaging 15.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 0.8 steals per game since the beginning of January.

JANUARY 30 • ROTOWIRE

Available to play Williams (ankle) is available to play Thursday versus the Hornets.

Impact Williams tweaked his ankle during Wednesday's loss to the Timberwolves, but he was able to play through it, and he'll continue to do so Thursday evening. Williams is averaging 12.5 points and 3.7 assists per game this season.

JANUARY 30 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable with sprained ankle Williams is questionable for Thursday's game against Charlotte due to a right ankle sprain.

Impact It's worth noting Thursday is the second night of back-to-back games for the Mavericks. If Williams ends up sitting out against the Hornets, Jaden Hardy and Ryan Nembhard could be worth considering as streamers.

JANUARY 29 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 17 points in loss Williams provided 17 points (4-10 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 8-12 FT), five rebounds and three assists across 24 minutes during Wednesday's 118-105 loss to Minnesota.

Impact Williams briefly exited Wednesday's game with a right foot issue, and while he was able to return and play through it, it wouldn't be shocking to see Williams pop up on the injury report ahead of Thursday's matchup with Charlotte. If he needs to sit out the second leg of the back-to-back set, Williams' minutes would likely be divvied up amongst Jaden Hardy and Ryan Nembhard.
