Cody Williams News, Rumors, Updates - Utah Jazz

Joining starting five Williams is starting Thursday's game against Portland.

Impact Williams will step into the starting lineup with the Jazz missing the majority of their first unit Thursday night. He's averaging 9.0 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.0 blocks in his last seven showings as a starter.

Stable source of steals Williams amassed nine points (4-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and three steals across 25 minutes during Wednesday's 121-93 victory over Sacramento.

Impact Williams is carving out a steady role for himself, but his style of play isn't translating into much fantasy relevance on the whole. The forward has averaged 7.4 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 26.4 minutes per contest in his last 10 games, so his appeal is very limited outside of swipes.

Not starting vs. Orlando Williams won't start against the Magic on Saturday, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact After starting each of his last 15 appearances, Williams will retreat to the second unit Saturday. Over 23 outings off the bench this season, the second-year forward has averaged 4.0 points and 1.4 rebounds in 13.7 minutes per contest.

Struggles offensively Williams provided five points (2-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists, three blocks and one steal across 38 minutes during Thursday's 121-119 loss to the Hawks.

Impact Williams has been playing a sizable role with the Jazz, and that's expected to continue going forward. His fantasy appeal leaves a lot to be desired, however. Over his last six games, Williams is averaging 30.3 minutes per contest with 8.5 points, 2.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.2 blocks on 52.5 percent shooting from the field.

Available to play Williams (illness) is available for Friday's game versus the Nets.

Impact Williams is back after a one-game absence, so he should see his usual minutes Friday night. Walter Clayton's minutes might dip with Williams active.

JANUARY 31 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Friday Williams (illness) is questionable to face the Nets on Friday.

Impact Williams missed Wednesday's loss to the Warriors with an illness, and now he's in danger of sitting out his second straight game. We'll have a better idea of Williams' status based on his activity level at shootaround, but if he is forced to spend another game on the sidelines, his minutes would be split up between Brice Sensabaugh and Walter Clayton.

JANUARY 30 • ROTOWIRE

Downgraded to out Williams is out for Wednesday's game against Golden State with an illness.

Impact Williams was a late addition to the injury report for the second half of this back-to-back and ultimately won't play. Svi Mykhailiuk is the most likely candidate to jump right back into the starting lineup Wednesday. Williams' next chance to play comes Friday against the Nets.

JANUARY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy for Wednesday Williams (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Warriors.

Impact Williams was a late addition to the injury report for the second leg of this back-to-back set. The forward has been underwhelming in recent outings, averaging 8.9 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.1 assists on 52.5 percent shooting from the field in 27.5 minutes over his last eight games.

JANUARY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Muted performance in loss Williams provided 11 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and two steals in 25 minutes during Tuesday's 115-103 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Williams continues to see heavy run for the Jazz, but his fantasy value leaves a lot to be desired. Over his last eight games, he's averaging 8.9 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.1 assists on 52.5 percent shooting from the field in 27.5 minutes per contest.

Sees big workload in loss Williams notched six points (3-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 128-126 loss to the Bulls.

Impact Despite a quiet night in terms of scoring, Williams was able to have a notable impact with his playmaking and defense. He was overshadowed by a career-best night from Brice Sensabaugh, however. Over his last seven games, Williams has posted averages of 8.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 0.6 three-pointers in 22.1 minutes per contest.

JANUARY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Chips in 15 points in loss Williams finished Saturday's 150-95 loss to Charlotte with 15 points (5-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT) and two rebounds in 32 minutes.

Impact Williams got the starting nod for a second consecutive contest and finished as Utah's third-leading scorer on efficient shooting from the field. However, he also recorded an abysmal minus-60 point differential. The second-year forward has logged double-digit minutes in eight straight games, though Ace Bailey's (hip) eventual return to action and a normal workload should significantly eat into Williams' minutes.

JANUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Sees 22 minutes in start Williams supplied eight points (4-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds, four assists and two steals over 22 minutes during Thursday's 116-114 win over the Mavericks.

Impact Williams made his first start of the season with Ace Bailey and Jusuf Nurkic sitting out the second leg of this back-to-back set for maintenance. It's no secret that Williams has struggled in Utah, though Thursday's outing was a positive step in the right direction. Fantasy managers in deeper formats can monitor him from the waiver wire for now.

Stepping into starting five Williams will start Thursday's game against Dallas, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Impact Williams is in line for his first start of the 2025-26 campaign despite providing little production in his recent play as a reserve. Svi Mykhailiuk will retreat to a bench role as a result of the lineup shift.

Logs season-high 26 minutes Williams produced 18 points (6-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT) and one block in 26 minutes during Thursday's 118-101 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Williams saw an increase in playing time as the Jazz were short-handed and dealing with multiple injuries. The 21-year-old forward has played double-digit minutes in three straight games with Ace Bailey (hip) sidelined and was impactful as a scorer in Thursday's loss to the Clippers with a season-high 18 points. Williams' minutes should remain steady as long as Bailey is out, but his overall fantasy appeal remains limited.

Quiet outing in loss Williams contributed two points (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) over 13 minutes during Tuesday's 129-119 loss to Boston.

Impact With Ace Bailey (hip) sidelined, Williams logged double-digit minutes for a second consecutive game. However, the second-year forward struggled to find his rhythm Tuesday after shooting 4-for-8 from the field in Saturday's win over the Spurs. Williams may continue to see increased playing time for as long as Bailey is sidelined, though the former still carries very little value from a fantasy standpoint.

Recalled back to NBA Williams has been recalled from the G League on Monday.

Impact Despite being a first-round lottery pick in 2024, Williams has not found a consistent role with the Jazz, averaging just 2.2 points, 0.9 rebounds, 0.5 assists, 0.2 steals and 0.2 blocks across 12.2 minutes this season. He will likely continue to split time in the G League.

Impact The Jazz could be shorthanded Thursday against the Nets, so Williams is being brought along for emergency depth.

Impact It's unclear how long Williams will stay in the G League. However, the forward has a much clearer pathway to minutes with the Salt Lake City Stars than the Jazz.
