Cody Williams News, Rumors, Updates - Utah Jazz

Moving back to bench Williams isn't starting Monday's game against the Nuggets.

Impact Williams drew a rare start Saturday against the Sixers but will rotate back to the bench for Monday's clash. Johnny Juzang gets a chance at small forward and Lauri Markkanen bumps to power forward while John Collins (hip) continues to recover from injury.

Starting Saturday against Philly Williams is in the Jazz's starting lineup for Saturday's game against the 76ers, Sam DiGiovanni of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Impact Williams will make his eighth start of the regular season Saturday. The rookie first-rounder has averaged 4.6 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.7 assists over 23.0 minutes per game in his seven starts earlier in the season.

DNP-CD in NBA Williams didn't appear in Monday's 124-113 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact Williams joined the Jazz for Monday's game after a brief G League stint but didn't take the floor in the loss. The 10th overall pick in the 2024 NBA draft appeared in each of Utah's first 16 games this season and averaged 3.1 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.2 assists across 18.7 minutes. He hasn't played in an NBA game since Nov. 23.

Headed back to G League The Jazz assigned Williams to the G League's Salt Lake City on Tuesday.

Impact Williams will return to the G League after a brief stint in the NBA. The rookie forward hasn't made an appearance for the Jazz since Nov. 23, so he should receive increased playing time with the Stars.

Back to NBA Utah recalled Williams from the G League's Salt Lake City Stars on Sunday.

Impact Across seven straight G League appearances, Williams averaged 13.0 points while shooting only 31.6 percent from the field and 23.3 percent from deep. The rookie has a consistent role at the NBA level to start his career, but he hasn't made an appearance for Utah since Nov. 23.

Assigned to G League The Jazz assigned Williams to the G League's Salt Lake City Stars on Monday, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact Larsen notes that Williams' minutes have dropped to 12.5 per contest over his last five outings, so it makes sense for the No. 10 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft to get some extra live reps.

Heads to bench Thursday Williams is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Mavericks, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Impact Williams went scoreless in 15 minutes in the loss to the Suns on Tuesday, and the rookie will be replaced in the starting lineup by another first-year player, Kyle Filipowski. Williams is averaging just 3.8 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game in 10 appearances this season (seven starts).

NOVEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Unflattering performance Williams accumulated zero points (0-2 FG), two assists and one steal across 15 minutes during Tuesday's 120-112 loss to Phoenix.

Impact Despite continuing to start for the Jazz, Williams has been unable to deliver anything close to meaningful production. Having now started seven straight games following a season-ending injury to Taylor Hendricks, Williams has scored double-digits just once. With very little to add in terms of peripheral numbers, Williams' short-term outlook is far from rosy.

NOVEMBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Career-high 11 points Williams finished Monday's 135-126 victory over Chicago with 11 points (5-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-4 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal over 30 minutes.

Impact Making his fourth straight start in place of Taylor Hendricks (leg), Williams finally scored in double digits for the first time in his career. His four assists were also a career-high mark. With Hendricks out for the season, Williams has a clear path to consistent developmental minutes during his rookie season. However, Kyle Filipowski, John Collins and Brice Sensabaugh will threaten Williams' playing time when Lauri Markkanen (back) returns to action.

NOVEMBER 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Minimal output in starting role Williams produced nine points (3-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt), two assists and two steals in 30 minutes during Tuesday's 113-96 loss to Sacramento.

Impact Williams moved to the starting lineup following the leg injury sustained by Taylor Hendricks, but the rookie had a rough time in the first start of his NBA career. Williams should eventually improve as the season progresses, but he shouldn't carry a lot of fantasy upside right now even if he's seeing regular starter-level minutes.

Getting starting nod Williams is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Kings, Ben Anderson of KSLsports reports.

Impact Williams will enter the starting five with Taylor Hendricks (ankle) out for the season. Williams is averaging 2.0 points and 3.7 rebounds in 20.0 minutes across his first three appearances but should receive increased playing time now that he has earned a starting job.

OCTOBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to bench Williams isn't in the starting five for Tuesday's preseason game versus the Kings, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.

Impact Lauri Markkanen will reclaim his starting spot from Williams after sitting out Utah's previous outing for rest purposes. Williams should continue to function as one of the primary forwards in the team's bench rotation.

OCTOBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Scores 17 points Saturday Williams posted 17 points (6-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and two assists across 30 minutes in Saturday's 126-120 preseason loss to the Spurs.

Impact Williams was one of three Utah players who scored 15 or more points, though overall, the team was depleted since Lauri Markkanen (rest) and Keyonte George (knee) were unavailable. Williams is expected to start the 2024-25 regular season as an option off the bench since Markkanen and Taylor Hendricks are penciled in to start at the forward spots.

OCTOBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Starting against San Antonio Williams is in the starting lineup for Saturday's preseason game against the Spurs, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact Lauri Markkanen is not in the starting lineup and not expected to feature, according to Larsen, so Williams will get the nod in his place. The 10th overall pick of the 2024 NBA Draft will make his first start of the preseason.

OCTOBER 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Ready for training camp Williams (illness) will be a full participant in training camp, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Impact Williams missed Utah's Summer League game on July 21 with an illness, but his status for camp wasn't in doubt. The No. 10 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, Williams should be able to compete for a rotation spot right away with the Jazz undergoing a rebuild.

OCTOBER 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Will miss Summer League finale Williams has been ruled out for Sunday's Summer League game against the Pistons due to an illness.

Impact The No. 10 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, Williams played well in Summer League action but will miss the finale due to a minor ailment. He should be fully healthy for training camp and is expected to compete for a rotational role as a rookie.

JULY 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Fares well in loss Williams recorded 14 points (6-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one steal and two blocks in 31 minutes during Monday's 82-70 Summer League loss to the Kings.

Impact Williams failed to connect from beyond the arc, but he contributed almost everywhere else, which included a team-high two swats. The No. 10 pick from this year's draft is off to a hot start to Summer League, averaging 17.5 points, 2.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.0 blocks over his first two appearances.
