Iffy for Tuesday Williams (wrist) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.

Impact Williams has sat out two of the last four games due to left wrist soreness, and it's unclear whether he'll be able to suit up Tuesday. He'll likely have ample opportunities to contribute if he's cleared to play against the Knicks, as the Grizzlies continue to deal with multiple absences.

Scoring surge continues Williams posted 17 points (5-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 31 minutes during Thursday's 108-101 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact The 2022 second-round pick has moved into a starting role for the Grizzlies due to all their injuries, although he may not be fully healthy himself -- he sat out the team's last game Jan. 29 with a sore knee. Williams has taken full advantage of the opportunity, scoring in double digits in nine straight games and averaging 17.3 points, 6.8 boards, 3.4 assists, 2.4 threes, 1.3 steals and 0.8 blocks over 34.4 minutes a contest while shooting 53.8 percent from the floor and 44.0 percent (22-for-50) from beyond the arc.

Williams has scored in double digits in each of his last six games and is averaging 15.0 points, 6.4 rebounds and 3.9 assists over that span.

All-around showing in defeat Williams finished Thursday's 118-103 loss to the Timberwolves with 10 points (3-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals across 35 minutes.

Impact Williams put forth a well-rounded performance while leading the Grizzlies in rebounds and steals to go along with a handful of assists and a double-digit point total. Williams has reached double figures in scoring in 10 games this season, adding at least five rebounds and five assists in two of those outings.

Signs multi-year deal Memphis and Williams agreed to a three-year, $7.9 million deal Tuesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Impact Williams is set to receive the most guaranteed money for any player signed off a two-way deal. The No. 47 pick in the 2022 Draft has averaged 33.6 minutes across the Grizzlies last five games, flashing scoring talent in addition to profiling as a asset defending on the wings.

Scores season-high 24 popints Williams closed with 24 points (6-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 9-10 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals across 38 minutes during Monday's 116-107 win over Golden State.

Impact Williams has been trusted into a starting role due to the lack of depth the Grizzlies are currently dealing with, but he responded in a big way Monday by delivering his best scoring output of the season. Williams' long-term role will probably be one with the second unit as the team gets healthier, but for now, he's a solid play in most formats -- albeit as a streaming option -- due to his starting role. He's averaging 9.1 points, 7.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.4 steals per game when deployed as a starter this season.

Sniffs triple-double in loss Williams chipped in 17 points (5-13 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 6-8 FT), eight rebounds, eight assists, one block and two steals in 36 minutes during Saturday's 106-94 loss to the Knicks.

Impact The Grizzlies were down several starters Saturday, and while they managed to compete for most of the game, they eventually fell short and ended up losing to the Knicks. Williams posted an outstanding performance, however, as he ended just two rebounds and two assists away from a triple-double. Williams has seen an uptick in minutes of late, logging 25 or more minutes in each of his last four appearances, and he's putting up averages of 12.0 points, 6.5 rebounds and 4.0 assists per game in that span. He seems to have done enough to remain in the rotation for the foreseeable future.
