Elizabeth Williams - WNBA News, Rumors, & Updates

Chips in eight points Sunday Williams closed Sunday's 113-90 loss to the Fever with eight points (2-2 FG, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block in 15 minutes.

Impact Williams continues to serve as the primary backup center behind Kamilla Cardoso this year. The veteran center is averaging 5.0 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 16.4 minutes per over 38 appearances.

Scoreless in 12 minutes Williams supplied zero points (0-2 FG), two rebounds and three assists over 12 minutes during Wednesday's 91-71 loss to Golden State.

Impact With Kamilla Cardoso thriving as the starting center, opportunities for Williams have been limited this season. She remains off the fantasy radar while Chicago's frontcourt is healthy.

AUGUST 13 • ROTOWIRE

Season-high 14 points Williams contributed 14 points (7-11 FG), two rebounds, two assists and one steal over 27 minutes during Wednesday's 95-88 win over the Sparks.

Impact Williams scored a season-high 14 points, marking her first double-digit performance since July 19. Her 27 minutes were also a season-high mark. Williams should continue to see increased chances as long as Azura Stevens (personal), Sydney Taylor (groin) and Skylar Diggins (knee) remain unavailable.

Chips in with season-high 12 points Williams posted 12 points (4-5 FG, 4-5 FT), two rebounds and one block across 16 minutes in Sunday's 93-91 loss to the Dream.

Impact Williams had a season high with 12 points, leading the Sky with 12 of the team's 20 bench points. While Kamilla Cardoso has been back from a right knee injury for the past two games, but she has played with a slight minutes restriction, so there is some extra run available for Williams.

JULY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Friday Williams won't start Friday's game against the Sparks, independent WNBA writer Justin Russo reports.

Impact Kamilla Cardoso (knee) is back in the lineup following a one-game absence, pushing Williams back to the second unit. The veteran center has averaged 5.0 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 12.0 minutes per game over her last five appearances off the bench.

JULY 17 • ROTOWIRE

Starting against Seattle Williams is starting Wednesday's game against the Storm, per a release from the Sky.

Impact Kamilla Cardoso (knee) will be sidelined for the first time this season Wednesday, so Williams will draw her first start of the 2026 campaign. Across 15 starts last year, Williams averaged 11.0 points, 6.9 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 27.6 minutes per game.

Quiet campaign continues Williams had four points (2-4 FG), two rebounds and two assists over 12 minutes during Tuesday's 77-66 victory over Phoenix.

Impact With Kamilla Cardosa yet to miss a single game for the Sky this year, Williams remains stuck in a reserve role as the second-string center. For the campaign, Williams has averaged 5.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 blocks in 17.2 minutes per tilt across 21 games.

JULY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Well-rounded contributor off bench Williams ended with eight points (3-5 FG, 2-5 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one block over 19 minutes during Friday's 124-94 win over Portland.

Impact Williams saw a slight uptick in playing time during Friday's comfortable victory and finished with her best scoring total since June 5 against Connecticut while also generating a season-high four assists. While her performance against Portland was encouraging, Williams' role off the bench has limited her fantasy upside early in 2026.

JUNE 27 • ROTOWIRE

Plays 13 minutes off bench Williams finished with two points (1-3 FG), two rebounds and one block over 13 minutes during Wednesday's 101-78 victory over the Fire.

Impact Williams has played exclusively off the bench this season, and she's had a limited impact to begin her fourth year with Chicago. She's been held to single-digit scoring totals in seven consecutive appearances, averaging 4.1 points and 3.0 rebounds in 17.3 minutes per game during that time.

JUNE 25 • ROTOWIRE

Sees 22 minutes in loss Williams accumulated four points (0-4 FG, 4-8 FT), three rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 22 minutes during Sunday's 85-68 loss to Toronto.

Impact After reaching 10 points in back-to-back outings, Williams cooled off in Sunday's loss. She's seeing some solid minutes this season, posting averages of 5.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.1 blocks in 18.5 minutes per contest.

Solid contributions off bench Williams finished with 10 points (4-10 FG, 2-5 FT), six rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block over 23 minutes in Tuesday's 90-72 loss to Washington.

Impact Williams scored in double figures for the third time this season while matching a campaign high in assists and combined steals-plus-blocks. The center has been a dependable shot blocker, denying at least one shot in seven of nine contests this year. Through nine regular-season games in 2026, the veteran is averaging 5.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.0 blocks in 17.9 minutes while operating exclusively off the bench.

Comes close to double-double Williams ended Wednesday's 111-104 loss to Toronto with 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-6 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 23 minutes.

Impact Williams finished just one rebound shy of recording what would've been her first double-double of the season. This was the first time she played more than 20 minutes in 2026, and with her minutes likely to continue to increase, according to WNBA reporter Kareem Copeland, she should remain productive off the bench for Chicago. She's certainly a player to keep close tabs on based on her usage and playing time.

MAY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Should see minutes increase Head coach Tyler Marsh said Wednesday that Williams remains on a slight minutes restriction but should see her minutes continue to increase, WNBA reporter Kareem Copeland reports.

Impact Williams dealt with a knee injury ahead of last Wednesday's game against Dallas, but she was available for that matchup and also suited up against Minnesota on Saturday. However, the 32-year-old has yet to play at least 20 minutes in any of her six regular-season appearances so far, averaging 4.0 points and 4.2 rebounds in 16.0 minutes per game. She'll likely continue to operate as the No. 2 center behind Kamilla Cardoso, but Williams should continue to shed her restrictions as the season progresses.

MAY 27 • ROTOWIRE

On minutes restriction Wednesday Williams (knee) is available to play in Wednesday's game versus Dallas, Chicago State of Mind reports.

Impact While Williams is available against the Wings, she will operate under a minutes restriction. The 32-year-old is averaging 3.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 0.8 assists and 0.8 blocks in four games this season. Williams also logged 17 minutes or less in each of those contests, so she may not see a drastic reduction in playing time.

MAY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared to play Wednesday Williams (knee) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Wings, per Chicago State of Mind Sports.

Impact Despite battling a right knee injury, Williams is ready to handle her usual role as the top backup center behind Kamilla Cardoso. Over her first four appearances, Williams has averaged 3.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 0.8 blocks in 14.8 minutes per game while shooting 50.0 percent from the field.

MAY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy for Wednesday Williams (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Wings.

Impact Williams is at risk of sitting out for the first time this season Wednesday due to a right knee injury. With Chicago's frontcourt already thin in the early going, the Sky would likely lean on Kamilla Cardoso to take on all the minutes she can handle if Williams cannot suit up.

MAY 16 • WNBA.COM

Secures four rebounds off bench Williams racked up one point (0-2 FG, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one block across 17 minutes during Friday's 91-83 loss to the Mercury.

Impact Williams has seen consistent playing time off the bench early in the regular season, but she's totaled just three points over her last two appearances after posting 10 points in Saturday's Opening Night win over Portland. Williams has profiled mainly as a fantasy streaming option to begin the 2026 campaign, and she'll face more competition for playing time once Azura Stevens (knee) is back in action.
