Williams (shoulder) is out for Saturday's game against the Hornets.

EDGE Analysis

After not being listed on the initial injury report, Williams has been downgraded to out due to left shoulder soreness. Monday's matchup against the Pelicans marks his next chance to return to the court. Chet Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein should share the center minutes Saturday, meaning Alex Caruso and Luguentz Dort could be needed to handle some playing time at power forward.

Williams recorded 12 points (4-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one steal in 30 minutes during Tuesday's 126-102 win over the Warriors.

EDGE Analysis

Williams matched his previous season-high scoring mark, but from a statistical perspective, this might have been Williams' best game of the campaign yet. The big man should continue to see steady minutes off the bench, but as the backup behind the Chet Holmgren-Isaiah Hartenstein duo, his fantasy upside is limited to being a streaming option in the deepest formats. Williams doesn't play enough minutes, nor does he produce enough to be a valuable fantasy option in standard formats.

EDGE Analysis

Williams took an elbow to the face and headed to the locker room in the first quarter. The big man reportedly needed stitches but returned to the bench with a black eye and a bandage in the second quarter before eventually checking back in during the second half. He appears good to go for the remainder of the game.

EDGE Analysis

Williams (shoulder) has been cleared to play in Tuesday's game against the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

Williams is dealing with a shoulder issue that has threatened to keep him sidelined. However, he went through shootaround and will be available. He's currently averaging 5.7 points, 4.1 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.0 steals per game, shooting 36.8 percent from the floor and 27.3 percent from deep.

Williams is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Clippers due to a sprained left shoulder.

EDGE Analysis

Williams must have tweaked his shoulder during Sunday's game against the Pelicans, and now he's in danger of missing Tuesday's contest. We'll have a better idea on his status based on his activity level at shootaround, but if he's not able to give it a go, Aaron Wiggins could see some extra minutes.

Williams accumulated 12 points (4-9 FG, 4-9 3Pt), three rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 23 minutes during Sunday's 137-106 win over the Pelicans.

EDGE Analysis

After coming off the bench in the first six games of the season, Williams got his first start Sunday with Chet Holmgren (back) and Jalen Williams (wrist) unavailable. Jaylin responded to the opportunity by scoring in double digits for the first time in 2025-26, and he dished exactly four assists for the third straight game while recording at least one steal and one block in four straight. The fourth-year center could become a real fantasy asset given his broad skill set if he gets more consistent court time, and during that four-game stretch he's averaging 6.5 points, 6.0 boards, 3.3 assists, 1.8 threes, 1.5 steals and 1.0 blocks in just 19.8 minutes a contest.

Williams is in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Pelicans, Rylan Stiles of SI.com reports.

The Arkansas product has received steady minutes off the bench so far this year, averaging 4.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 steals in 17.0 minutes through six games.
