BRANDON WILLIAMS NEWS

Puts up 10 points off bench Williams tallied 10 points (4-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two assists, one rebound and one steal across 20 minutes in Monday's 110-100 loss to the Kings.

Impact One of Dallas' two-way players, Williams made his first appearance in either the G League or the NBA since Dec. 7, after he had recently missed time with a thumb injury. Williams suited up for both of the Mavericks' previous two contests without being called upon off the bench, but Dallas opened up a spot for him in the rotation Monday while the club was without Kyrie Irving (shoulder), Klay Thompson (illness), Dereck Lively (hip), Naji Marshall (suspension), Dante Exum (wrist) and Luka Doncic (calf). Any of the first three players could be back for Dallas' next game Wednesday in Houston, so Williams will likely be at risk of moving back outside of the rotation.

Good to go Friday Williams (thumb) isn't on the injury report for Friday's game versus the Suns.

Impact Williams will return to action Friday after missing Dallas' last six contests due to a thumb injury. However, Williams is averaging just 1.2 points in 4.2 minutes across his five appearances this season, so he is unlikely to significantly impact the Mavericks' rotation.

DECEMBER 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Out again Wednesday Williams (thumb) will not play Wednesday against Minnesota.

Impact Williams will miss his sixth straight contest and remains without a timetable for a return.

DECEMBER 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out for Monday Williams (thumb) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Portland.

Impact Williams will miss his fifth consecutive outing due to a sprained right thumb, though he hasn't played at the NBA level since Nov. 19. The two-way guard's next chance to suit up for Dallas will come Wednesday against Minnesota.

DECEMBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Saturday against Clips Williams (thumb) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Clippers.

Impact Williams will be sidelined for a sixth straight game due to a sprained right thumb, and his next opportunity to play will be against the Trail Blazers on Monday. Williams' absence won't impact the Mavericks' rotation that much as he's only appeared in five regular-season games.

DECEMBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Still absent from practice Williams (thumb) didn't participate in Thursday's practice, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Impact Williams has missed Dallas' last five contests due to a sprained right thumb. While the Mavericks have yet to release an injury report for Saturday's game versus the Clippers, Williams' absence from practice is a bad sign of his availability.

DECEMBER 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Thursday Williams (thumb) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Clippers, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Impact Williams has been battling a sprained left thumb and won't be cleared in time to face the Clippers on Thursday. Williams has appeared in just five NBA games this season, so his absence shouldn't have much rotational impact.

DECEMBER 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Still out Sunday Williams (thumb) won't play in Sunday's game versus the Warriors, Eddie Sefko of the Mavericks' official site reports.

Impact Williams hasn't logged any NBA minutes since Nov. 19, so his absence won't affect Dallas' rotation. Williams' next chance to suit up is Thursday's matchup with the Clippers.

DECEMBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Absent from Friday's practice Coach Jason Kidd said that Williams (thumb) did not participate in Friday's practice, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Williams was held out of practice while he deals with a sprained right thumb. The two-way guard should be considered questionable at best for Sunday's game against the Warriors, though his absence shouldn't affect any fantasy decisions as he has averaged 4.2 minutes per game across only five regular-season appearances.

DECEMBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Misses Tuesday's loss with injury Williams was ruled out ahead of Tuesday's 118-104 loss to the Thunder due to a right thumb sprain.

Impact One of Dallas' three two-way players, Williams has seen the overwhelming majority of his playing time in the G League this season, so his absence Tuesday didn't have any impact on head coach Jason Kidd's rotation. Williams will likely head back to the Texas Legends once he's moved past the thumb injury.

DECEMBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Makes garbage-time cameo Wednesday Williams recorded two points (1-1 FG), two rebounds and one assist across six minutes during Wednesday's 119-99 victory over the Bulls.

Impact Williams made his third appearance of the season, with all having come during garbage time at the tail end of blowouts. Dallas took control early Wednesday and never let the Bulls keep the game competitive, allowing Williams to help close out the contest. The two-way player will likely head to the Texas Legends in the coming days once the G League season gets underway.

NOVEMBER 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not listed on injury report Williams (calf) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Monday's preseason game against the Clippers.

Impact Williams appears set to make his preseason debut after he was left off the injury report. He's missed his team's first two exhibitions while dealing with a calf strain and will likely see action in the next two preseason games, though he doesn't appear to be in line to make the regular-season roster.

OCTOBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sidelined once again Williams (calf) will not play in Thursday's preseason game against the Jazz.

Impact Williams is on a two-way contract, so missing preseason action doesn't help his cause. Still, even if healthy, he shouldn't have a shot at making the regular-season rotation. He should be considered questionable to face the Clippers on Monday.

OCTOBER 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Out with calf strain Williams (calf strain) will not play in Monday's preseason game against Memphis.

Impact Williams is on a two-way contract with Dallas and isn't expected to crack the rotation to open the season. Consider him day-to-day.

Pours in 22 points in finale Williams ended with 22 points (8-21 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds and three assists in 30 minutes during Sunday's 135-86 loss to the Thunder.

Impact Williams ended up appearing in each of the Mavericks' final four games of the season, though his 30-minute workload in the finale was by far his largest of the season. He benefited from the increased playing time by virtue of Dallas holding out or limiting most of its key rotation players and ultimately finished the 2023-24 campaign with averages of 3.2 points, 1.0 assists and 0.8 rebounds in 6.6 minutes over 17 appearances. Since he's a two-way player, Williams won't be eligible to compete in the playoffs for Dallas.

APRIL 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Sunday Wiliams (wrist) won't play in Sunday's game versus the Thunder.

Won't play Wednesday Williams is out for Wednesday's game versus the Warriors due to a left wrist sprain.

Impact Williams's absence won't affect Dallas' rotation. The 24-year-old guard's next chance to suit up is Thursday's matchup with the Thunder.

MARCH 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Logs six minutes in blowout Williams racked up zero points (0-1 FG, 0-2 FT), two rebounds and one steal across six minutes during Wednesday's 126-97 victory over Portland.

Impact Williams failed to score in six minutes, cracking the rotation for the second straight game. After recently signing a two-way deal with the Mavericks, Williams has benefitted from injuries to other players. While it's great to see young players getting a taste for the NBA, it's hard to see him being anything more than a depth piece on most nights.

JANUARY 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Inks two-way deal with Mavs Williams signed a two-way contract with Dallas on Wednesday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact Williams was previously with the Osceola Magic of the G League, where he was averaging 23.9 points and 5.6 rebounds. The 2021 UDFA appeared in 24 games with the Trail Blazers as a rookie but hasn't seen action in an NBA game since. He'll likely fill a depth role with Dallas when the team is at full strength.

DECEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Cut loose by Magic Williams was waived by Orlando on Saturday, Philip Rossman-Reich of OrlandoMagicDaily.com reports.

Impact Williams turned in a solid performance (13 points, two rebounds, two assists and two steals in 22 minutes) in the Magic's latest preseason contest against Flamengo, but it wasn't enough to earn him a roster spot. He's likely to return to Orlando's G League team, where he'll see plenty of opportunities to work on his game.

OCTOBER 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up knee contusion Williams suffered a right knee contusion and will not return to Thursday's Summer League game against the Kings.

JULY 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Waived by Trail Blazers Williams was waived by the Trail Blazers on Friday, Sean Highkin of BleacherReport.com reports.

Impact Williams served mainly as a starter for Portland over the final month of the regular season last year. He averaged 13.4 points, 4.6 assists and 3.6 rebounds in 30.1 minutes per game over his final 18 appearances. However, he'll need to seek other opportunities ahead of the 2022-23 campaign.
