Not listed on injury report Williams (eye) is not listed on the Grizzlies' injury report ahead of Tuesday's Game 5 against the Timberwolves.

Impact The rookie departed Saturday's Game 4 after taking a hit to the eye, but it doesn't look to be anything of real concern. Williams found himself in the starting five for much of the regular season, but with Memphis at full strength to begin the playoffs, his role has tapered off a bit in Round 1. Over the first four games of the series, he's played 10, 19, eight and 14 minutes, respectively, totaling 28 points, one rebound, one assist, two steals and three three-pointers.

Dealing with eye injury Williams is questionable to return to Saturday's Game 4 at Minnesota due to an eye injury.

Impact Williams had five points (1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT) in six minutes before exiting with the injury, and it's unclear if he'll be able to retake the court Saturday. He averaged 7.3 points in 12.3 minutes over the first three games of the series.

Strong showing off bench Saturday Williams logged 19 points (7-12 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-3 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal across 22 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 141-114 victory over the Pelicans.

Impact The rookie wing has been a fixture in the rotation since the calendar flipped to 2022, bouncing between the starting five and bench, and Williams' 19 points Saturday was his best scoring effort yet as part of the second unit. The 10th overall pick in the 2021 Draft will look to cap a solid campaign Sunday against the Celtics before getting ready for his first NBA playoffs.

Joins starting five Williams will start in Thursday's matchup against the Pacers, Scott Agness of FieldhouseFiles.com reports.

Impact Williams will start for Dillon Brooks (rest) who is missing the second leg of the Grizzlies back-to-back. The rookie will make his 28th start of the season Thursday. The 20-year-old is averaging 9.6 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.0 assists as a starter.

Moving to bench with Brooks back Williams will come off the bench Sunday against the Thunder.

Impact With Dillon Brooks (ankle) making his long-awaited return to action, the Grizzlies will shift Williams to the bench, ending his streak of 16 consecutive starts on the wing. Williams will continue to be a part of the regular rotation, but this development further dampens his fantasy appeal.

Lands 16 points in blowout win Williams racked up 16 points (6-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds and one assist over 22 minutes during Tuesday's 132-111 victory over New Orleans.

Impact Williams scored in double-digits for the first time in over two weeks, cashing in as the Grizzlies dismantled the Pelicans. Despite having earned a regular spot in the starting rotation, Williams has not been able to translate that into anything more than deep league fantasy value. Dillon Brooks is nearing a return, at which point Williams is likely to shift back to the bench.
