Out Wednesday Williams (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Jazz.

Questionable for Wednesday Williams (knee) is questionable to play Wednesday against the Jazz, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

Impact Williams didn't practice Monday due to knee soreness, and his activity level Tuesday is unknown. If he's unable to suit up Wednesday, Dallas' defense would lean on Derrick Jones and Dante Exum, especially with Josh Green (elbow) already ruled out. Olivier-Maxence Prosper could see an uptick in usage as well.

Doesn't practice Monday Williams did not practice Monday due to knee soreness, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Williams has yet to miss a game this season, but that could change Wednesday when the Mavericks face the Jazz. More information on Williams' status should arrive when Dallas releases their official injury report.

Solid start to December Williams ended with 16 points (4-12 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 31 minutes during Friday's 108-94 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact November was mostly a disaster for Williams, who'd shot 33.3 percent from the floor while scoring in single digits in seven of the last 10 games coming into Friday, but the former Celtic found a spark and delivered his highest scoring output since Nov. 5, while also setting a new season high in boards. Williams has seen a bigger role in Dallas than he ever did in Boston, but as yet that extra court time hasn't translated into consistent production.

Held scoreless against Houston Williams posted zero points (0-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt), four rebounds and three assists across 18 minutes during Tuesday's 121-115 win over the Rockets.

Impact Williams picked up four fouls for the third game in a row, but unlike his previous two games, he saw reduced minutes with Derrick Jones being a spark off the bench with 15 points. Williams has been very quiet over his last four games with averages of 4.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 three-pointers in 26.1 minutes.

Held without a point Williams racked up zero points (0-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal over 21 minutes during Sunday's 136-124 victory over the Pelicans.

Impact That's three duds in a row for Williams. During that span, Williams is averaging a mere 2.6 points on a combined 3-of-14 shooting from the field. The forward will attempt to bounce back against the Pelicans on Tuesday.

Leading scorer in win Williams recorded 25 points (7-10 FG, 7-9 3Pt, 4-6 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 114-105 win over Chicago.

Impact Williams has had an efficient start to his 2023-24 season and has shot at least 50 percent from the floor in three of four games. He and Tim Hardaway were the only two Mavs players to score 20-plus on a night when Luka Doncic struggled with his shot and Kyrie Irving (foot) was ruled out for the second straight game. Williams signed a four-year, $53 million contract as part of a sign-and-trade from the Celtics in the offseason, and his production will be needed on nights when Doncic and/or Irving are not playing or are struggling from the floor.

Plays 35 minutes in win Williams totaled 17 points (6-11 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds and one block across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 126-119 victory over the Spurs.

Impact Williams joined the Mavericks as part of a sign-and-trade deal in July, and he had a prominent role during his team debut Wednesday. He made 79 appearances with the Celtics last year and averaged 8.1 points and 4.6 rebounds in 25.9 minutes per game, and it appears as though he'll have a chance to improve upon those results during the 2023-24 season.

Impact After coming over from Boston in a sign-and-trade deal in July, Williams will join star guards Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic on the top unit for the preseason opener, while rookies Olivier-Maxence Prosper and Dereck Lively round out the starting five. Though Irving and Doncic will dominate the usage whenever they're on the court, Williams could have an opportunity to step in as the Mavericks' No. 3 scoring option, especially if he's sharing the court with two defensive-minded rookies. Though Williams holds real-life value in the form of his perimeter shooting and ability to defend both forward spots, his lack of standout production in any category keeps his ceiling low in fantasy. The 24-year-old at least looks to have reported to camp at close to 100 percent health after undergoing surgery on his left hand in June.
