Won't return due to illness Williamson has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against Detroit due to illness.

Impact Williamson was added to the injury report Wednesday morning due to illness, and he attempted to play through the issue. However, after logging four points (2-5 FG, 0-3 FT) and four rebounds across 15 minutes, Williamson no longer felt well enough to play and has been ruled out the rest of the way. His next chance to play will come Friday at Memphis. In the meantime, look for Karlo Matkovic and Micah Peavy to pick up the slack.

Heads to locker room Williamson went back to the locker room during Wednesday's game against Detroit for unspecified reasons, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.

Impact Williamson was on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's contest due to an illness, and considering he didn't show any signs of an injury before he left the game, it's possible he's just feeling under the weather. While Williamson is off the court, Karlo Matkovic and Micah Peavy could see an uptick in minutes.

Impact Williamson was limited to just 12 points on 5-for-12 shooting during Tuesday's loss to the Nuggets, so it was nice to see him bounce back Wednesday night with an efficient, 20-plus point performance. The Nets couldn't do much to stop him, as he regularly attacked the rack and had more than a few massive throwdowns, and he'll look to keep it going Friday with another favorable matchup against the Pacers.
