Out again Sunday Williams (foot) will miss Sunday's regular-season finale against the Raptors, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Won't play Friday Williams (foot) is out for Friday's game against the Bucks.

Impact The Nets used just seven players Thursday for the front end of the back-to-back set, and they will again be extremely shorthanded Friday. Williams is not a lock to return for the season finale Sunday.

APRIL 10 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Thursday Williams (foot) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Pacers.

Impact Williams will miss a third consecutive contest due to a left foot issue, and he'll have just two more chances to suit up again this season. With the 24-year-old wing sidelined, Ochai Agbaji, Jalen Wilson and Malachi Smith are candidates to see an uptick in playing time.

APRIL 8 • ROTOWIRE

Sliding to second unit Williams won't start Friday's game against Atlanta.

Impact Terance Mann will return to the first unit, pushing Williams out of the starting five. The 24-year-old forward went unused off the bench in Sunday's win over Sacramento and isn't guaranteed meaningful burn if he's not starting. Still, he has averaged 14.0 points, 2.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.6 steals over his last five appearances off the bench.

Removed from rotation Williams (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Sunday in the Nets' 116-99 win over the Kings.

Impact In an effort to open up playing time for every player on the 15-man roster and all three two-way players, Nets head coach Jordi Fernandez has been shaking up his rotation from game to game over the last few weeks as the season winds down. Williams ended up being squeezed out Sunday, ending a stretch of eight consecutive appearances during which he had averaged 13.4 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2.3 steals, 1.4 assists and 1.3 three-pointers in 22.6 minutes per game. While Williams will stick in the rotation more often than not over the Nets' final seven games, his unexpected absence Sunday illustrates the risk that he and all Brooklyn players will carry as streaming options down the stretch.

MARCH 30 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting versus Sacramento Williams won't start in Sunday's game against the Kings, according to Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com.
