Impact Williams will miss back-to-back games due to an ankle injury to end his 2023-24 campaign. After a slow start with the Mavericks, Williams was shipped to Charlotte at the deadline and was a consistent producer. He made 29 appearances (10 starts) for the Hornets and averaged 13.9 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.1 steals-plus-blocks in 30.6 minutes per game. Williams is still under contract for three more seasons.

Impact Williams seems poised to end the season as a starter for the rebuilding Hornets, as he's been part of the first unit in his last four appearances. Perhaps more impressive is the fact that he was part of the first unit even though Nick Richards was back in the rotation following a three-game absence. Williams is averaging 10.3 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game when deployed in a starting lineup this season.

Scores 23 vs. former team Williams contributed 23 points (10-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds and two assists across 33 minutes during Monday's 118-104 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Williams got the start Monday due to Nick Richards (foot) being ruled out. Williams' performance against Boston was far better than the first time he faced the team that drafted him, when he registered just two points, three rebounds and two assists over 18 minutes as a member of the Mavericks. Since being acquired by the Hornets at the trade deadline, Williams is averaging 13.8 points on 49.8 percent shooting, 5.2 rebounds and 2.5 assists over 30.0 minutes per game.
