BRANDON WILLIAMS NEWS

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.

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 • 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Will be limited off bench Williams (quad) will see limited minutes off the bench during Thursday's game against the Pelicans, Jay Allen of NBC Sports Northwest Rip City Radio 620 reports.

Impact Kris Dunn will remain with the starters while Williams takes it easy following an absence due to an injury. In his past five games as a reserve, Williams has averaged 13.2 points, 2.4 assists and 2.0 rebounds in 22.2 minutes.

Questionable at New Orleans Williams (quadriceps) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Pelicans, Jamie Hudson of KOIN 6 News Portland reports.

Dealing with a quadriceps injury Williams is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Thunder due to a left quadriceps contusion, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.

Impact Williams has started 14 of the last 15 games and has averaged 14.5 points, 4.7 assists, 3.9 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 31.3 minutes during that stretch. If the undrafted rookie out of Arizona is sidelined, Kris Dunn would likely take over as Portland's primary point guard.

APRIL 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Posts big double-double in loss Williams notched 25 points (8-20 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 4-6 FT), four rebounds, 12 assists and four steals over 41 minutes during Monday's 134-131 overtime loss to Oklahoma City.

Impact Williams was one of three Portland players to register 20-plus points in the contest, and he was especially potent from deep with a 5-for-8 mark from beyond the arc. The rookie point guard rounded out a standout overall line with four steals and a career-best 12 dimes. With Damian Lillard (abdomen), Anfernee Simons (knee) and Eric Bledsoe (Achilles) all ruled out for the season, Williams should be the starting point guard by default for the Blazers the rest of the way. He's done well in the role, averaging 16.3 points, 4.3 assists, 4.2 boards, 1.6 three-pointers and 1.5 steals across 11 games.

MARCH 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Finishes with 15/8/4 line Williams finished Saturday's 115-98 loss to Houston with 15 points (6-15 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal over 34 minutes.

Impact Williams paced the Blazers with eight dimes in the loss and tied for the team lead with 15 points. He didn't shoot particularly well from the field, but this was still a better result than the combined 4-for-23 mark he posted over his previous two games. Williams could hold onto the starting point guard role for the remainder of the campaign if Anfernee Simons (quadriceps) doesn't return to action.

MARCH 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Friday Williams will start at point guard in Friday's matchup with the Rockets, Jay Allen of NBC Sports Northwest Rip City Radio 620 reports.
