Williams was upgraded to probable Sunday afternoon. It’s likely the 28-year-old center will return after leaving Friday’s win over the Rockets with right knee soreness. Williams will assume his role as one of the backup centers, but he isn’t worth rostering in fantasy leagues at this point.

Williams exited Friday’s win over the Rockets with a sore right knee. If he’s unable to play on Sunday, the tandem of Yang Hansen and Duop Reath will handle the backup center responsibilities. Neither should be rostered in redraft leagues.

While Williams missed a few games earlier this month due to left knee injury management, the right knee was the reason for his early exit on Friday. His departure means rotation minutes for Yang Hansen and Duop Reath, but neither would be worth streaming going forward since starter Donovan Clingan is healthy.

Williams is back after missing Saturday’s game against the Spurs due to left knee injury management. While the Time Lord is no longer fantasy relevant himself, his return is enough to make Yang Hansen and Duop Reath not worth rostering in most leagues.

Time Lord sat out Saturday’s win over the Spurs, but he’s expected to return following a one-game absence. He should occupy his usual role backing up Donovan Clingan, which means less run for Yang Hansen and Duop Reath.

Williams is back on the injury report due to left knee injury management. While his status does not affect starting center Donovan Clingan, it does affect fellow reserves Yang Hansen and Duop Reath. While one or both could land in the rotation if Williams sits, neither is worth rostering in redraft leagues.

Time Lord sat out on Sunday against the Celtics, and there’s a chance he sits out the second leg of Portland’s back-to-back set. If he’s out, Yang Hansen and Duop Reath should see additional run in the frontcourt backing up Donovan Clingan.

Portland has games on Sunday and Monday, so Williams was bound to sit out one of them. His absence will likely result in Yang Hansen and Duop Reath assuming the backup center responsibilities, but neither player should be rostered in redraft leagues.

Williams is good to go after sitting out Tuesday’s loss to the Magic, which was Portland’s second game in as many nights. His return means fewer minutes for Yang Hansen and Duop Reath, as the Time Lord will slot in as Donovan Clingan’s backup.

Williams was initially questionable for this game but is now expected to play after missing Tuesday’s game, which was the second of a back-to-back. Williams will continue fill out the reserve center minutes behind Donovan Clingan, which will reduce Duop Reath’s minutes.

Williams did not play in Tuesday’s loss to the Magic, which was Portland’s second game in as many nights. Yang Hansen and Duop Reath both saw action off the bench, playing eight and five minutes, respectively. That isn’t enough time to make either player relevant in fantasy basketball.

Unsurprisingly, Williams will miss the second leg of Portland’s back-to-back. Donovan Clingan is available and will continue to start, which means Duop Reath will fill out the backup minutes. That won’t be a large enough role for him to be worth streaming.

Portland was without its top three centers on Thursday, including Williams. He was initially questionable for that game before being ruled out, and that could happen again on Sunday. Williams’ fantasy value, if available, depends on the status of starting center Donovan Clingan, who has missed the last three games. If Clingan plays, Williams will be locked into the backup center role, which limits his fantasy ceiling.

With Donovan Clingan already out, Williams will join him on the sidelines for Thursday’s game. Portland will also be without Yang Hansen, leaving Duop Reath as the lone healthy center on the roster. While the Blazers can go without a center on occasion, Reath is worth streaming on a four-game night.

Williams missed Saturday’s game with an illness, but despite his questionable listing seems on track to play in Thursday’s game against the Pelicans. The 28-year-old center returned to a full practice on Tuesday. With Williams back, Yang Hansen will likely move to the bench and Duop Reath will see fewer minutes.

Williams missed Sunday’s game with an illness, but he was able to practice in full. That implies he’ll be able to return for Thursday’s game against New Orleans, though the official injury report will have to confirm that. His return will take away from Duop Reath and Yang Hansen’s minutes regardless of Donovan Clingan’s (leg) status.

Williams is a late addition to the injury report, and that’s typically not a good sign for a player’s availability. With Donovan Clingan (leg) questionable, Portland could give additional minutes to Duop Reath and Yang Hansen if both Williams and Clingan end up sidelined.

Williams was not made available for Wednesday’s win over the Cavaliers, as it was the second game in as many nights for the Trail Blazers. If he can play on Friday, Duop Reath would be the player most impacted after he logged 11 minutes on Wednesday. There’s no need to roster Reath, regardless of Williams’ availability.

Unsurprisingly, Williams will sit out the second leg of Portland’s back-to-back. Donovan Clingan (leg) is questionable, and with Williams unavailable, Duop Reath and Yang Hansen are candidates to be part of the rotation. Kris Murray started in a smaller lineup during Clingan’s last absence, and he should see a bump in minutes regardless of Clingan’s status.

The Trail Blazers will be without Williams, who will sit due to left knee injury management. While Donovan Clingan remains the starting center, Yang Hansen will play rotation minutes off the bench out of necessity. There’s no need to roster Yang in redraft leagues, but he should be held in dynasty formats.

With the Trail Blazers playing games on Sunday and Monday, Williams is likely to miss one for injury management reasons. Which game he misses likely depends on starter Donovan Clingan, who is also questionable for Sunday’s game with a sprained ankle. If Clingan plays, don’t be surprised if the Time Lord does not.

His availability does not have a significant impact on fantasy basketball, but it does impact Yang Hansen’s place in the rotation.

Williams is available to make his first appearance of the 2025-26 season. According to acting head coach Tiago Splitter, the Time Lord will be under a minutes restriction. The restriction (which was not revealed) was expected due to Edwards’ injury history and the fact that he last appeared in a game on February 20. Yang Hansen’s minutes will likely decrease, but he hasn’t done enough to merit being rostered in redraft leagues.
