Williams signed a contract with Turkish club Galatasaray in September, Eurohoops.net reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old center finished the 2019-20 season as one of the Wizards' two-way players, but he opted to head overseas rather than exploring his opportunities at the NBA level heading into 2020-21. Williams' contract with Galatasaray presumably contains an opt-out clause that would allow him to return to the NBA if a team expresses interest in signing him.

Williams agreed Sunday to re-sign with the Wizards on a two-way contract, Candace Buckner of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cut loose by the Wizards earlier this month, Williams will rejoin the organization after it opened up one of its two-way slots by converting Anzejs Pasecniks' deal to a standard NBA contract. While Williams' two-way pact will only allow him to spend up to 45 days at the NBA level, he should join the parent club right away with up to six players in danger of missing Sunday's game against the Jazz due to injury. Williams previously appeared in five games and made four starts at power forward for the Wizards, averaging 4.2 points (on 64.3 percent shooting from the floor) to go with 6.0 rebounds and 1.0 assist in 18.4 minutes.

Williams signed a contract with the Wizards on Thursday. He is available to play in Thursday's game against the Pistons.
EDGE Analysis
To bolster a roster hit hard by injuries, Washington added Williams. He played overseas earlier this season, appearing in 18 games for Maccabi Rishon Lezion in Israel, averaging 11.8 points and 9.1 rebounds per game. It's unclear what kind of playing time Williams will receive, but he certainly has an opportunity to be a regular part of the rotation while the Wizards' frontcourt players recover.
