Steps in as backup center Williams (illness) tallied four points (1-3 FG, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and two assists across 18 minutes in Thursday's 118-89 loss to the Clippers.
Impact After missing the last three games -- first because of rest, and then due to an illness -- Williams made his return to action Thursday and settled back into the rotation as the top backup to starting center Deandre Ayton. While Donovan Clingan (ankle) is out for at least the next week, Williams should have a regular spot on the second unit. However, Williams' playing time may be more suppressed in competitive contests in which the Trail Blazers are likely to lean more heavily on Ayton, who played just 24 minutes Thursday.

Questionable with illness Williams (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Nets.
Impact After sitting out Saturday's loss to the Heat with an illness, Williams' status remains in danger for Tuesday. With Deandre Ayton (calf) off the injury report, rookie first-rounder Donovan Clingan should revert back to Portland's second unit and handle the backup center role for the Blazers if Williams isn't feeling well enough to play against Brooklyn.

Iffy against Dallas Williams is listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Mavericks due to rest purposes.
Impact Williams hasn't suffered any injury, but Portland could opt to play it cautiously on the second night of a back-to-back Thursday. If Williams is ultimately ruled out, Donovan Clingan could receive increased minutes as the team's backup center.

Ties season-high with four blocks Williams contributed four points (2-3 FG), six rebounds, four blocks and one steal across 16 minutes during Wednesday's 119-100 victory over the Pelicans.
Impact Williams served as Portland's clear-cut backup center in the absence of rookie first-rounder Donovan Clingan (rest), matching his season high with four blocks Wednesday. However, the oft-injured Williams has only appeared in five games since Nov. 27, and he's yet to transcend 25 minutes in any of his 12 contests in 2024-25. The 27-year-old doesn't need very much playing time to be an effective contributor when it comes to swats, boards and field-goal percentage, but Williams isn't a reliable fantasy commodity overall while starter Deandre Ayton is healthy for the Blazers.

Returns from three-game absence Williams (ankle) tallied zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two blocks and one rebound across 11 minutes Monday in the Trail Blazers' 125-103 loss to the 76ers.
Impact Though the Trail Blazers continued to deploy Donovan Clingan (nine minutes) as the primary backup to starting center Deandre Ayton, Williams saw slightly more playing time than the rookie due to head coach Chauncey Billups' willingness to use Williams alongside Ayton at power forward. Given the lack of a threat he presents as a perimeter shooter, Williams may find it difficult to earn significantly more minutes at power forward from here on out, especially once Jerami Grant (face) returns to the mix. Though he's healthy again after missing the previous three games with a right ankle sprain, Williams' fantasy appeal will be limited mainly to deeper leagues unless Ayton were to miss time.
