Available Tuesday Williams (ankle) has been cleared to play Tuesday against Memphis.

On track for Tuesday Williams (ankle) is listed as probable to play Tuesday versus Memphis.

Questionable Sunday Williams (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Timberwolves, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

Impact Williams is coming off a one-game absence after leaving Wednesday's game against the Trail Blazers early due to a sprained ankle. His status Sunday will presumably depend on how his ankle is feeling closer to tipoff. Josh Green would be a candidate for increased run if Williams cannot play.

Won't play Friday Williams (ankle) will not play in Friday's game versus Portland, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

Impact This is a tough blow for a Dallas team that is already very shorthanded. Williams will join Luka Doncic (ankle), Dante Exum (heel), Dereck Lively (ankle) and Markieff Morris (illness) on the shelf. Josh Green and Dwight Powell could see increased roles as a result.

Starting against Minnesota Williams will start against Minnesota on Thursday.

Impact The Mavericks are shaking things up to adjust for the absence of Luka Doncic (quadriceps), so Williams will replace Tim Hardaway as Dallas looks to get more playmaking and defense into the first unit. As a starter this season, Williams has averaged 9.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 2.1 three-pointers.

Flirts with double-double Williams posted nine points (4-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt), nine rebounds, four assists and one block across 31 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 120-111 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Williams fell just short of his first double-double of the season, grabbing a season-high nine rebounds to go with nine points. Despite serving as a starting piece for the Mavericks, Williams is outside the top 200 in standard leagues. He should be viewed as nothing more than a sporadic streaming option.

Strong from deep in return Williams finished with 19 points (7-9 FG, 5-7 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 40 minutes during Tuesday's 127-125 victory over the Lakers.

Impact Williams returned after missing the last three games with a knee injury by connecting on a team-high-tying mark from three while finishing one point short of the 20-point mark in a winning effort. Williams has posted double figures in 11 games this season, including in two of his last three outings. He has also connected on three or more threes in nine outings this year.

DECEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Available to play Williams (knee) will be available for Tuesday's game against the Lakers.

Impact Williams missed the past three games for Dallas, but he's no longer showing up on the official injury report. The Mavericks are going to be very thin Tuesday, as Kyrie Irving (heel) is out and all three of Luka Doncic (back), Tim Hardaway Jr. (back) and Derrick Jones (quadriceps) are questionable. Williams could potentially see a heavy workload and increased usage in his return.

DECEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Will remain out Monday Williams (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against the Grizzlies, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Williams will miss a third straight game due to right knee soreness. Kyrie Irving (heel) and Maxi Kleber (toe) are also out, so Derrick Jones, Dante Exum and Seth Curry are candidates for increased roles. Williams' next chance to suit up will come Tuesday versus the Lakers.

DECEMBER 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out again versus Portland Williams (knee) won't play in Friday's game versus the Trail Blazers.

Questionable for Wednesday Williams (knee) is questionable to play Wednesday against the Jazz, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

Impact Williams didn't practice Monday due to knee soreness, and his activity level Tuesday is unknown. If he's unable to suit up Wednesday, Dallas' defense would lean on Derrick Jones and Dante Exum, especially with Josh Green (elbow) already ruled out. Olivier-Maxence Prosper could see an uptick in usage as well.
