Plays through injury Williams chipped in 11 points (5-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT), six rebounds, seven assists, three blocks and one steal over 24 minutes during Wednesday's 93-80 win over UNI. Impact Williams gave Arkansas fans a scare after landing awkwardly on a shooter's foot and leaving the game afterwards, according to Rivals, but he was fortunately able to return to the contest. He had also apparently dealt with a back injury late in the offseason, but is playing through any discomfort for now. His presence was pivotal in this contest, as the late return helped the Razorbacks pull away, and he came up with a huge block on the defensive end late in the contest. At 6-10, Williams is also a surprisingly capable ball handler and has already produced 17 assists through three game. That type of assist production from a big man, if sustained, could make him an incredibly coveted fantasy commodity, even in nationwide formats.
