Williams is slated to meet with Dr. James Andrews on Tuesday in order to examine his left knee, Jason Lloyd of the Akron Beacon Journal reports. "I don't know what it is yet," Williams said after Sunday's win at Oklahoma City.
EDGE Analysis
Williams' left knee has been a concern all season, and an injection in December did little to alleviate the pain. While the Cavaliers are terming the injury a "sore left knee," the noted Andrews will likely hone in on the nature of the issue. Consider Williams unavailable for Monday's game against the Pistons, while the exam will determine whether he can play Wednesday versus the Hornets.

Williams is averaging 4.8 points (on 35.7% shooting) and 0.4 assists in 11.6 minutes during his appearances in five of the Cavaliers' six February contests.
EDGE Analysis
Williams struggled to see the floor early on after Tyronn Lue took over coaching duties in January, but the 33-year-old has since entered the rotation as the backup point guard with Matthew Dellavedova (hamstring) missing the last five games. With Dellavedova expected back after the All-Star break, Williams should soon see his minutes dry up entirely, rendering him useless in just about every fantasy format.

Williams did not play in the win over Detroit on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Williams has fallen on the depth chart behind even Jared Cunningham. The veteran never was a good defensive player and doesn't fit what the Cavaliers need from a perimeter player in most games. Williams has not played more than six minutes in any game since Tyronn Lue took over the coaching reins.

Williams has returned to the Cavaliers after missing the past two games for personal reasons, Chris Hayes of Cleveland.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Williams missed the past two games as he was tending to his uncle's funeral, but has now rejoined the team and should be available for Monday's game against the Warriors. The veteran guard has lacked major minutes ever since Kyrie Irving returned to the lineup, as he hasn't seen playing time in the Cavaliers last eight contests.

Williams (personal) did not make the trip to San Antonio with the team, Chris Haynes of Cleveland.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Williams will miss his second game after sitting out of Tuesday's overtime win over the Mavericks. Williams has seen his minutes drop off ever since Kyrie Irving returned to the lineup, so his absence from Thursday's game won't be too significant. He may join the team as they head to Houston for Friday's matchup with the Rockets.

Williams is listed as out for Tuesday's game against the Mavericks due to personal reasons.
EDGE Analysis
His absence on Tuesday shouldn't be a significant lose, as he has not taken the court in the previous four games. He also has been diagnosed with a partially torn liagment in his right thumb, but intends to play through the injury. He has seen a significant dropoff in minutes with the return of Kyrie Irving to the lineup. His next chance to take the court will come on Thursday against the Spurs.

Williams revealed Friday that he has a partially torn ligament in his right thumb, but he intends to play through the injury, Chris Haynes of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Williams has seen his minutes drastically reduced since the return of Kyrie Irving, as he's seen just 27 total minutes over the Cavs' last five games. He's battled the thumb injury for a few weeks, but up until Friday it was not clear that ligament damage was the diagnosis. With Williams avoiding surgery, he's expected to face a six-week recovery timetable, assuming he doesn't exacerbate the injury in the meantime.

Williams provided seven points (3-4 FG, 1-2 FT) and four assists in 19 minutes off the bench in the win over Denver on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Even with Kyrie Irving (knee) sitting out the second half of back-to-back games, Williams did not return to the starting lineup. He backed up Matthew Dellavedova and has minimal value as a reserve.

Williams (thumb) went for four points (2-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds, one steal, and one block in 15 minutes during the Cavaliers' 91-84 win versus the Knicks on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Williams returned after missing the past week with a sprained thumb. Still, now that Kyrie Irving (knee) is active, Williams will likely have to fight Matthew Dellavedova for the backup point guard minutes. Given how hard it will be for Williams to earn significant time on a consistent basis, there's a decent chance he becomes borderline irrelevant in fantasy unless injuries strike the Cavaliers' backcourt.

Williams (thumb) will play Wednesday against the Knicks, Chris Haynes of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
EDGE Analysis
After testing out his sprained right thumb during warmups, Williams has decided to return Wednesday after missing the last two contests. With Kyrie Irving back in the mix, Williams will move into a permanent bench role, and he's unlikely to come close to seeing the 30.8 minutes per game he averaged during the month of November, particularly given how well Matthew Dellavedova has played of late. Still, Williams will be a key bench contributor for a Cleveland team that finds itself fully healthy Wednesday for the first time all season.
