Brandon Williams News, Rumors, Updates - Dallas Mavericks

Could sit out Tuesday Williams said after Monday's 119-113 loss to the Pelicans that images on his sprained right ankle came out "pretty well," but he admitted that he's "not sure" if he'll play Tuesday...

Impact After tweaking his ankle late in the second quarter of Monday's contest, Williams briefly headed to the locker room and then tested his injury on an elliptical bike before checking back into the contest with five seconds left in the third quarter. He didn't appear to have any setbacks upon re-entering the game, but Williams acknowledged that he was playing through some pain Monday and could need to rest for the second leg of a back-to-back set. If Williams ends up sitting Tuesday, the Mavericks could reopen a spot in the rotation for D'Angelo Russell as the top backup to starting point guard Ryan Nembhard.

Iffy for Monday Williams is questionable for Monday's game against Utah due to right Achilles soreness.

Impact Williams was a very late addition to the injury report, and that's usually a troubling sign in fantasy hoops. With D'Angelo Russell (illness) already sidelined, the Mavericks may need Ryan Nembhard to shoulder a heavy workload Monday.

The 26-year-old point guard finished as Dallas' second-leading scorer, leading the bench in points, assists and steals. He has come off the bench in six consecutive contests, averaging 10.5 points, 4.7 assists, 1.7 rebounds and 1.0 steals across 20.7 minutes per game over that stretch.

Struggles again Wednesday Williams racked up seven points (3-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and two assists in 14 minutes during Wednesday's 118-108 victory over the Heat.

Impact Williams scored single digits for the second straight game, both of which he has played fewer than 15 minutes. With Ryan Nembhard thriving as the new starting point guard, Williams has seemingly taken a back seat, resulting in a dip in his production. In four games over the past week, Williams has averaged just 8.5 points, 4.0 assists and 1.0 steals in 19.2 minutes per contest.

Available to play Williams (adductor) is available for Monday's matchup with the Nuggets.

Impact Williams will power through the adductor issue and he should see his usual minutes Monday night. Williams is averaging 11.1 points, 4.1 assists and 1.6 steals per game this season.

DECEMBER 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable against Denver Williams is questionable for Monday's game against the Nuggets due to a left adductor strain.

Impact Williams dealt with a back issue over the last week, but he is now in jeopardy of missing Monday's contest due to an adductor injury. If he is unable to go, Jaden Hardy and D'Angelo Russell could see extra time at point guard.

Hits for 14 points off bench Williams logged 14 points (5-14 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), one rebound, seven assists, one block and three steals over 26 minutes during Saturday's 114-110 victory over the Clippers.

Impact Williams provided solid backcourt support in the win, marking his second consecutive game with the second unit. The decision to start Ryan Nembhard over Williams appears to be a permanent one despite four consecutive double-digit scoring totals over the past week. His average of 4.1 assists per game is a little low for a starting point guard, and that's a likely reason for the switch.

Heading to bench Friday Williams is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Lakers.

Impact Williams will head to the bench since head coach Jason Kidd has decided to start Ryan Nembhard at point guard instead. Williams is averaging 8.6 points, 2.1 assists, 1.6 boards and 1.8 steals per game when playing off the bench.

NOVEMBER 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Plays 21 minutes as starter Williams closed with 12 points (4-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, five assists and one steal over 21 minutes during Monday's 106-102 loss to the Heat.

Impact Williams shook off a questionable tag to suit up Monday, but he played only 21 minutes as a starter. He's played 28 or fewer minutes in four of his past five games, and rookie Ryan Nembhard, who returned to action Monday and dished out seven assists, could start to eat into Williams' minutes even more if he continues to struggle with his shot. Williams is shooting only 28.8 percent from the field over that aforementioned five-game stretch.

Good to go Monday Williams (back) is available for Monday's game against the Heat.

Impact Williams is dealing with back tightness, but he's giving it a go for the injury-riddled Mavericks on Monday. The guard has averaged 11.8 points, 4.4 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 1.8 steals in 24.8 minutes per game across his last 13 outings, making him worth streaming in most fantasy leagues.

NOVEMBER 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Seen at shootaround Monday Williams (back) was present for Monday's shootaround against the Heat, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Impact Williams is in danger of missing his first game this season, but his attendance in Monday morning's shootaround is an encouraging sign that he may still suit up. If Williams is downgraded to out prior to tipoff, D'Angelo Russell and Jaden Hardy will likely see extended playing time as a result.
