Williams announced his retirement from the NBA following the Bucks' Game 5 elimination to the Heat in the second round of the 2020 NBA playoffs, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Williams is retiring after his 15th year in the league. Coming out of UNC, Williams was the second overall pick in the 2005 NBA Draft. He began his career with the Hawks, where he played for seven seasons and averaged 11.5 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists. He then spent two years in Utah before moving on to Charlotte and, eventually, Milwaukee. Though never an All-Star, Williams' longevity is rare, and he retires with the 90th-most NBA games played and has the 32nd-lowest turnover rate in NBA history.

Williams went for 12 points (4-8 FG, 4-5 3Pt), seven rebounds and one block in 22 minutes during Saturday's 118-104 Game 5 win against the Magic.
EDGE Analysis
Williams had by far his best showing of the first round in this one, scoring in double figures while also logging 20-plus minutes. He hadn't accomplished either of those feats in the first four games of the series, but Williams may be relied upon a bit more heavily as the postseason continues thanks to his ability to contribute on both ends and at both forward positions.

Williams was ejected during Saturday's Game 3 against the Magic, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Williams and James Ennis got into an altercation in the second quarter which involved some pushing and shoving. After the two were separated, they were both assessed double technicals and ejected. Williams finishes the game with two rebounds and one block in six minutes.

Williams finished with four points (2-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt), nine boards, and one block in 23 minutes of a 120-116 loss to Houston on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Williams made his first appearance since the restart with an active day on the glass. The veteran will provide key depth for the Buck's front court during their title push this summer. He'll face the Nets on Tuesday.

Williams (groin) is off the injury report for Sunday's contest against the Rockets.
EDGE Analysis
Williams missed the Bucks' opener due to a strained left groin, but he'll be available for the second contest of the bubble restart. In his final 10 appearances before the break, he averaged 3.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 18.4 minutes. His return could signal fewer minutes for Sterling Brown, Robin Lopez and/or Ersan Ilyasova

Williams (groin) won't play in Friday's restart opener against the Celtics, Matt Velazquez of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Williams will sit out while dealing with a strained left groin, which the team has deemed "moderate." The veteran's absence should be very short term. In his stead, Ersan Ilyasova could see extra run.

Williams (groin) is not expected to play in Friday's game against Boston.
EDGE Analysis
Williams is still bothered by a strained left groin, which kept him out of the team's final scrimmage earlier in the week. The Bucks are in no danger of losing their grasp on the No. 1 seed, so they can afford to bring Williams along at his own pace.

Williams will not play in Monday's scrimmage against the Pelicans due to a groin issue, Matt Velazquez of the Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
This is the first we've heard of the injury, but Williams' absence Monday is likely precautionary as the Bucks gear up for their first seeding game Friday night.

Williams (coach's decision) was active for Monday's 109-95 loss to the Nuggets but didn't see the floor.
EDGE Analysis
After the Bucks ruled out Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee), Eric Bledsoe (knee) and George Hill (thigh) in advance of the contest, coach Mike Budenholzer chose to give impromptu rest days to several other players in the second half of the back-to-back set. Along with Williams, rotation mainstays Khris Middleton, Brook Lopez and Donte DiVincenzo were also given the night off. Williams will return to action Thursday against the Celtics and should split minutes at power forward with Ersan Ilyasova in the event Antetokounmpo (knee) is sidelined for a third straight game.

Williams went for four points (2-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one block in 20 minutes during Wednesday's 119-100 win over the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
Williams appears to have leapfrogged Ersan Ilyasova on the power forward depth chart, as the latter was left out of the rotation entirely in this one. Williams has earned at least 16 minutes in eight of nine appearances since joining the Bucks. Still, the 33-year-old veteran hasn't hit double figures in scoring once yet for Milwaukee, and he's at best a dart throw in daily leagues.
