Impact Williams came into the game with an apparent ankle injury but was able to shake that off to make his 20th start of the season in Friday's A-10 tournament game against the Flyers. The 6-6 junior struggled to find his stroke and it's possible injuries came into play but head coach Mike Rhoades relayed after the win that Williams insisted he'll be fine for Saturday's semifinal matchup against Davidson. Williams averages a solid 10.7 points and 5.1 rebounds in 28.5 minutes per game and is a vital piece if the Rams hope to advance to Sunday's title game.

Will play Friday Williams (ankle) is set to play Friday in the Atlantic 10 Tournament, Wayne Epps Jr. of the Richmond Times-Dispatch reports.

Impact Williams saw his minutes limited in the regular-season finale against Davidson due to a new ankle injury, and while he was listed as day-to-day earlier in the week, it now appears he'll be suiting up for VCU. What isn't clear just yet is whether or not he'll have Nah'Shon Hyland (foot) next to him in the starting lineup.

Day-to-day with ankle injury Williams (ankle) is listed as day-to-day according to coach Mike Rhoades, Wayne Epps Jr. of the Richmond Times-Dispatch reports.

Impact Williams is one of a number of Rams dealing with some kind of issue this week. Their first game of the A-10 Tournament will be on Wednesday, so we'll see if Williams is able to return from this ankle injury. He was just starting to come into his own, averaging 13.6 points and 6.6 rebounds over the previous five games.

Leaves with ankle injury Williams suffered a sprained left ankle in the second half of Saturday's loss to Davidson and did not return to the contest, Wayne Epps of the Richmond Times-Dispatch reports.

Impact Williams ended up with his lowest minutes total since Jan. 23 in the contest, and it appears an injury is to blame. The junior had been on a productive run for VCU prior to Saturday, recording 13.6 points and 6.6 rebounds over his previous five contests. His status for the Atlantic 10 tournament, which begins Wednesday, is unclear at this time.

Fills up box score versus Mason Williams had 15 points (4-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and a steal Saturday against George Mason.

Impact It was a nice bounce-back effort from Williams, who was just 1-6 from the floor in the Rams' prior outing against Richmond. He's been a bit inconsistent in the scoring column, but is a steady all-around contributor who could see his usage surge if teammate Nay'Shon Hyland is forced to miss time with a foot injury.

New season-high 19 Tuesday Williams had a season-high 19 points (7-14 FG, 5-8 3Pt) Tuesday against Dayton, adding four rebounds, three assists and two steals.

Impact Williams got hot behind the arch, as he'd only hit multiple 3-points five times prior to Tuesday. Williams is an inconsistent scorer, having alternated single and double-digit across his last five, but usually offers a well-rounded stat line to keep a stable nightly floor.

Season-high 17 points Wednesday Williams had a season-high 17 points (6-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and two steals Wednesday against St. Joseph's.

Impact Williams has moved into the starting rotation over the last six games, and has now scored in double-digits in his last four while always pulling down at least six boards and chipping in two or more assists. He's clearly emerged as a fantasy option, and should be added where available.
