Headed to Minnesota The Jazz traded Williams and John Konchar to the Timberwolves on Friday in exchange for Josh Green and cash considerations, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact Williams will get a fresh start in Minnesota after taking a bit of a leap in his sophomore season. The 21-year-old wing played in 67 regular-season games (41 starts) last season, averaging 8.8 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 0.8 steals while shooting 46.8 percent from the field in 24.3 minutes per showing. However, the Colorado product faces plenty of competition for minutes in Minnesota and isn't guaranteed meaningful burn.

Ticketed for bench role Williams (illness) is in line to compete for a reserve role during training camp this fall.

Impact Williams closed last season as a starter for a Jazz team that was looking ahead to 2026-27, but they should have most of their key players healthy for Opening Night and also added Darryn Peterson with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft. Williams, who started a career-high 41 regular-season games a year ago, failed to stand out in any one particular area, averaging 8.8 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 0.8 steals in 24.3 minutes per game in 2025-26.

Impact Williams averaged a career-high 8.8 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 0.4 blocks and 0.8 steals over 24.3 minutes in 67 regular-season appearances in 2025-26. Although he had a quiet start to his second season in the NBA, he finished the year by averaging 15.2 points in six regular-season games in April.
