Vince Williams Jr. News, Rumors, Updates - Utah Jazz

Waived by Jazz The Jazz waived Williams (knee) on Monday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

Impact Williams was diagnosed with a torn ACL back on Feb. 24 and is likely to miss the beginning of the 2026-27 season. With this transaction, the Jazz will be able to add someone to the vacated roster spot. Once healthy, Williams will likely draw considerable interest on the open market.

Out for season Williams has been diagnosed with a torn left ACL and will miss the remainder of the season, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact An MRI on Tuesday confirmed the diagnosis. A timetable has yet to be announced, but his absence will likely extend into the 2026-27 season. Williams made a total of 40 appearances between the Grizzlies and Jazz, averaging 7.5 points, 4.2 assists and 3.9 rebounds in 20.5 minutes per contest.

Headed for further testing Williams is feared to have suffered a significant injury to his left knee and will undergo an MRI on Tuesday, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.

Impact Williams suffered the injury during Monday's clash against Houston and was unable to return to the game. Todd also notes that the 25-year-old was spotted leaving the arena on crutches. The Jazz will presumably hold off on providing any additional updates on the severity of Williams' injury until his scans come back.

Impact Williams looked to hyperextend his left knee after being barreled into by Tari Eason, and Williams needed assistance making his way off the court after the play. The severity of the injury is unclear at this time, but Utah ruled him out for the rest of the night shortly after he exited. Brice Sensabaugh and Svi Mykhailiuk should be next in line to pick up minutes with Williams sidelined.

Williams will be competing primarily with Svi Mykhailiuk and Brice Sensabaugh for minutes off Utah's bench.
