Ready to go Saturday Williams (recently traded) is not listed on Utah's injury report ahead of Saturday's game against Orlando.

Impact Williams was part of the Grizzlies' trade package to the Jazz on Tuesday that also included John Konchar, Jock Landale and centerpiece Jaren Jackson. With the trade finalized, Williams and the other Utah newcomers are in line to make their debut with their new team Saturday. The fourth-year pro served mostly in a rotational role off the bench with the Grizzlies prior to Tuesday's trade, and he is averaging 8.0 points, 4.4 assists, 4.0 rebounds, 1.4 threes and 0.8 steals over 21.6 minutes per game this season. Williams will be competing primarily with Svi Mykhailiuk and Brice Sensabaugh for minutes off Utah's bench.

FEBRUARY 3 • Associated Press

Shipped to Utah The Grizzlies are trading Williams to the Jazz as part of the deal centered around Jaren Jackson on Tuesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact William opened the season in the G League but had stepped into a more prominent role as of late, and he'll now be competing for minutes on the wing with Cody Williams and Brice Sensabaugh with Utah. Over his last six contests, Williams has averaged 10.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.0 steals in 21.8 minutes per game.

Ties season high with 16 points Williams finished Monday's 137-128 win over the Timberwolves with 16 points (4-7 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 4-6 FT), five assists, one rebound and two steals over 23 minutes.

Impact Williams reverted to a bench role Monday after starting against Minnesota in Saturday's loss, but the fourth-year pro provided Memphis with a nice spark off the bench, co-leading the Grizzlies reserves in points with Cam Spencer. Williams has scored in double digits in three of his last four outings, and over that span he has averaged 11.8 points, 3.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 2.3 threes and 1.0 steals over 22.5 minutes per contest.

Moves to bench Williams will come off the bench for Monday's game against the Timberwolves.

Impact Williams drew a rare start Saturday with Memphis missing several key starters, but he'll return to the bench for Monday's matchup. He's averaging 7.7 points, 3.4 rebounds and 3.3 assists in his last seven appearances as a reserve.

FEBRUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Will start Saturday Williams will start Saturday's game against the Timberwolves.

Impact With several key contributors sidelined, Williams will get the starting nod for the first time since Dec. 7. As a starter this season (11 games), the 25-year-old forward has averaged 8.1 points, 7.2 assists and 4.6 rebounds in 24.9 minutes per contest.

FEBRUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Versatility on display Williams registered 10 points (4-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt), five rebounds, four assists and one block in 20 minutes during Wednesday's 112-97 loss to the Hornets.

Impact Williams was quite productive in his 20 minutes of action against Charlotte. The second-round draft pick is now in his fourth season and continues to show his wide range of skills. His 10 points complemented nice totals in the rebounding and assist categories while also getting one block on the defensive end. Memphis will be without Ja Morant for the next three weeks at least with an elbow injury, which should grant Williams more opportunity going forward.

JANUARY 29 • ROTOWIRE

Solid line in loss Williams totaled seven points (3-15 FG, 1-6 3Pt), eight rebounds, five assists and two steals in 21 minutes during Monday's 108-99 loss to Houston.

Impact With Ja Morant (elbow) out a while, Williams does have a window to provide some streaming appeal. However, Cam Spencer has been getting the bulk of the point guard reps lately. Over Williams' last five games, he's seeing 19.8 minutes per contest with 6.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.4 three-pointers.

Scores 13 points with five assists Williams closed Friday's 117-116 loss to the Thunder with 13 points (4-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, five assists and one block in 23 minutes.

Impact Williams looked fine in his return from a one-game absence, so he should be good to go for Sunday's game against the Nets. The 25-year-old guard is averaging 7.9 points, 4.3 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game this season.

JANUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared to play vs. Thunder Williams (knee) will play in Friday's game against the Thunder, Jonah Dylan of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

Impact A left knee injury has plagued Williams, keeping him out for nine of Memphis' last 10 contests, but he's got the green light for Friday. With Ja Morant (calf) out, Williams figures to see a relatively sizable workload. Williams has averaged 6.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.5 three-pointers in 19.4 minutes per contest across his last six games (two starts).

JANUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time call for Friday Williams (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against Oklahoma City.

Impact Williams has missed nine of his team's last 10 games while tending to a knee injury, and he's not in the clear just yet. The team should have an update on his availability closer to Friday's tipoff.

Ruled out for Wednesday Williams (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game versus the Suns, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

Impact Ja Morant (calf) will be a game-time call Wednesday evening, but if he's forced to join Williams on the sidelines, Cam Spencer would be slated for major minutes. Williams' next chance to play will come Friday versus the Thunder.

JANUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Wednesday Williams (knee) is questionable to play Wednesday against the Suns.

Impact Williams returned from an eight-game layoff Tuesday, but he could return to the sidelines for the second leg of the back-to-back Wednesday. If both Williams and Ja Morant (calf) are out, Cam Spencer would get all the run he could handle.

JANUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Drops 15 points in return Williams registered 15 points (5-7 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds and five assists across 22 minutes during Tuesday's 106-105 win over San Antonio.

Impact Williams returned from an eight-game absence as a result of a knee injury, dropping 15 points off the bench. It was the most he has scored since back on Nov 28, with his offensive output typically a weakness when compared to other aspects of his game. While this was an encouraging performance, there is no need to run and add him, outside of maybe deeper formats.

JANUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Available Tuesday Williams (knee) is available for Tuesday's game against the Spurs.

Impact Williams will return from an eight-game absence due to left knee patellar tendinitis. In 22 regular-season appearances (11 starts) thus far, the 25-year-old swingman has averaged 7.4 points, 4.9 assists and 4.2 rebounds while shooting 33.7 percent from the field in 21.9 minutes per contest.

JANUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Upgraded to probable Williams (knee) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Spurs, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

Impact Williams was initially listed as questionable, but he's trending towards returning after eight straight games on the shelf. With Ja Morant (calf) expected to sit out this contest, Williams is likely to be heavily involved for Memphis.

JANUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Tuesday Williams (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Warriors.

Impact Williams has missed eight straight matchups while dealing with a left knee issue, but this is the first time he's been upgraded to questionable since suffering the injury. The team will presumably keep a close eye on him during shootaround and pregame warmups before determining whether he'll suit up.
