Rockets waived G/F Terrence Williams.
This one came out of nowhere. Williams, the 11th overall pick from the 2009 draft, has been buried in Houston's rotation for the majority of the season and has played in just two games since March began. He was averaging just 4.5 points per game this season, and two teams have now given up on the 24-year-old. He'll likely get another shot elsewhere.

Terrance Williams will not play on Sunday due to a stomach problem.
The timing of this is interesting, especially after Williams spoke out recently about his lack of playing time. He's buried on the depth chart and not worth a look in fantasy leagues.

Terrence Williams says he's still baffled by his lack of playing time for the Rockets, and he apparently wasn't even on the bench during Saturday's game.
"That's a mystery," T-Will said about his lack of playing time. "It went from playing to the next day not, so it's still a mystery." Kevin McHale said the team is simply overloaded with wing players, as the rotation already includes Kevin Martin, Chandler Parsons, Chase Budinger and Courtney Lee.

Terrence Williams missed Monday's practice for an undisclosed reason.
It sounds like Williams may have simply overslept. When coach Kevin McHale was asked if the underutilized swingman will play Tuesday against the Celtics, he paused and said, "To be announced." Williams has appeared in just 11 games all season, but did log 14 minutes on Sunday.

The Rockets are not planning to exercise the fourth-year contract option on Terrence Williams.
Despite a new coaching regime in Houston, not much has changed for Williams, who hasn't been able to translate his considerable ability into consistent NBA playing time. He'll enter the summer as a restricted free agent.

Terrence Williams has expressed frustration about his recent fall out of the rotation.
"I worry about what I can control," he said. "I've been great. I don't know what's going on." Kevin McHale said he plans to talk with Williams about it, but it's easy to understand Williams' frustration. He's picked up a DNP-Coach's Decision in each of his last two games and is best left on waiver wires.

As expected, Terrence Williams saw 28 minutes of action on Wednesday with Courtney Lee sidelined with a calf injury.
Despite the minutes, Williams struggled to hit just 3-of-10 shots for eight points, three rebounds and a 3-pointer. The talent is there, but he can't seem to find a way to put it to use when given opportunities. Lee is day-to-day and Williams will most likely go back to obscurity once Lee is back. Just keep an eye on him, in case he wins the favor of coach Kevin McHale.

Terrence Williams had just two points in 12 minutes in Tuesday's loss to the Lakers, but could be in line for a minutes boost after Courtney Lee left the game with a calf injury.
Lee had to be carried off the court and while Williams didn't do much tonight, he could replace Lee as Kevin Martin's backup if Lee will miss a lot of time with the injury. Williams is only worth grabbing in deeper leagues for now, but should be watched closely in all of them.

Terrence Williams took a DNP-CD in Saturday's win over the Hawks.
Williams was not injured. Instead, coach Kevin McHale shortened his rotation to eight men and left Williams out in the cold. With Chase Budinger starting to find his shot, there's not much reason for owners to hang on to T-Will.

Terrence Williams did what Terrence Williams does on Friday, scoring no points with three rebounds and two assists in 15 minutes off the bench.
Just as he started to show that he was making a move on Chase Budinger (11 points), it didn't happen. It's what happens to players on the bench, though, and we'd be remiss if we use any one game to measure him at this time. For now, the SF position in Houston is one to be avoided but if/when one of the two players breaks out owners should be ready.
