JUNE 11 • ROTOWIRE

Not playing Sunday Williams has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Sparks due to an illness.

Impact Williams will be held out of Sunday's contest while battling an illness, and she'll look to recover enough in time for Thursday's home game against the Aces.

JUNE 7 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Saturday Williams (ankle) is good to go for Saturday's game against the Fever.

MAY 30 • ROTOWIRE

Late addition to injury report Williams (ankle) has been downgraded to questionable for Saturday's game against the Fever.

Impact Williams was a late addition to the injury report due to a left ankle injury, which doesn't bode well for her status ahead of tipoff. If the 22-year-old center is unable to play, Megan Gustafson and Luisa Geiselsoder would likely pick up a few additional minutes.

Impact Williams saw the least playing time of any bench player for the Fire on Thursday, but she made the most of her opportunities and contributed in several areas. While Williams put forth an encouraging performance Thursday, she's been on the fringes of Portland's rotation early in the regular season, giving her limited fantasy appeal as long as the team remains relatively healthy.

MAY 15 • ROTOWIRE

Flirts with double-double Williams recorded 12 points (3-6 FG, 6-8 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, two steals and a block in 19 minutes during Sunday's 85-75 preseason loss to the Sparks.

Impact Williams was Portland's most productive rebounder Sunday and figures to compete with Megan Gustafson for backup center minutes behind Luisa Geiselsoder. Williams shouldn't be a fantasy priority in standard leagues, but she could have streaming value if she locks down a consistent role on an expansion team that'll be trying to find its identity early in 2026.
