Williams is considered questionable to play Tuesday against Portland due to a knee injury, Chris Haynes of the Plain Dealer reports.
EDGE Analysis
This is the first we've heard of the situation, but Williams underwent an MRI on his left knee Monday, likely as a precaution. The Cavaliers stated that the veteran will go through shootaround Tuesday morning before being reevaluated by the team's medical staff. If Williams is ultimately held out, Matthew Dellavedova would figure to see increased minutes, as would Jared Cunningham off the bench.

Williams will come of the bench Friday in New Orleans, Chris Haynes of Cleveland.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Williams coming off the bench, Mathew Dellavedova will get the start. It is unclear if head coach David Blatt is simply playing matchups or is considering sticking with this lineup. The situation will need to continue being monitored. Williams could have extra offensive potential playing with the second rotation, but in fewer minutes.

Williams went for 15 points (7-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists, and one block in 32 minutes during the Cavaliers' 103-99 loss versus the Raptors on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Coach David Blatt had said he would monitor Williams' minutes in his return from an ankle ailment, but that certainly didn't appear to be the case. Though Williams came off the bench versus the Raptors, he still produced decent numbers, and there's a good chance he will return to the starting lineup soon, at least until Kyrie Irving is able to return from injury.

Coach David Blatt said that Williams (ankle), who has been cleared to play Wednesday against the Raptors, will have his minutes monitored, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Williams has been averaging 31.3 minutes over 11 games this season, so it's fair to expect him to see lower than that figure, though just how much of a restriction he'll face likely won't be relayed before the game starts. With backup point guard Matthew Dellavedova (ankle) questionable to play Wednesday, third-stringer Jared Cunningham could end up being called upon to see any minutes at point guard that Williams doesn't receive.

Williams (ankle) says he will return Wednesday evening to play against the Raptors, Chris Haynes of Cleveland.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Williams missed the previous three games with a right ankle injury. This means he will likely start at point guard tonight. His replacement starter for the last two games, Matthew Dellevadova, will come off the bench, and back up Jared Cunningham's minutes will likely drop off again as the point guard position is refilled by Williams.

Williams (ankle) will not play Monday against the Magic, Chris Haynes of the Plain Dealer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Williams, as expected, will miss his third straight game after sitting out Thursday against Milwaukee and Saturday against Atlanta. Matthew Dellavedova will get the start in Williams' place, but he's battling an ankle issue of his own, so his minutes will likely be monitored. That means Jared Cunningham, who played 20 minutes Saturday, will likely again see increased run.

Williams will not play in Saturday's game against the Hawks and is doubtful for Monday's tilt with the Magic due to posterior right ankle inflammation, Chris Haynes of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Kyrie Irving and Iman Shumpert out as well, the Cavaliers were already thin in the backcourt. Williams only adds to the mounting injuries and he'll likely sit out for the next two contests, as he continues to recover from posterior right ankle inflammation and general soreness. With Williams sidelined, look for Matthew Dellavedova to move into the starting lineup, while J.R. Smith, Jared Cunningham and Richard Jefferson will all likely see extended minutes.

Williams (leg) is out for Thursday's tilt versus Milwaukee, Chris Haynes of Cleveland.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Williams was a game time decision, but now it has been confirmed he will not be able to go. Matthew Dellavedova will likely get the start in his place. It remains to be seen if this will be a lingering injury for Williams, so it is a situation to monitor. Cleveland's next game is Saturday.

Williams (leg) will be a true game-time decision for Thursday's game against the Bucks, Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Williams began to experience the leg soreness when he arrived at the team's facility early Thursday and his condition doesn't seem to have greatly improved. If he is unable to play Thursday, Matthew Dellavadova would likely take Williams' spot in the starting five. A final decision on his status may not come across until very shortly before tipoff.

Williams (leg) is considered questionable for Thursday's matchup with the Bucks, Jason Lloyd of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Williams is battling some routine soreness in his lower-leg, and the Cavaliers will wait until later in the day to officially rule him in or out. With Kyrie Irving (knee) still sidelined, Cleveland would be rather shorthanded in the backcourt if Williams ultimately sits Thursday.
