Williams (calf) will not play Friday against the Jazz, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Williams will be sidelined for a second straight game. His next chance to play comes Sunday against Detroit. With Michael Porter (rest) and Noah Clowney (back) also out, Terance Mann, Danny Wolf and Drake Powell are candidates for increased minutes.

Williams won't play Thursday in Denver due to a left calf contusion, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Noah Clowney (back) will join Williams on the inactive list for Thursday's game, which should create plenty of opportunities for Danny Wolf and Jalen Wilson. Williams' next chance to play will come Friday in Utah.

Williams closed with 11 points (3-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, five assists and one steal in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 106-102 loss to the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
Williams has lost playing time to Drake Powell, but Powell disappeared from the rotation after going scoreless over just eight minutes. His exit was likely due to a lingering knee issue, and the Nets used Williams to pick up the slack. Williams' fantasy value is capped while dealing with Powell and Noah Clowney (back) for playing time.

Williams (illness) logged 15 points (4-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, one assist and two steals in 24 minutes during Monday's 126-117 loss to Phoenix.
EDGE Analysis
Williams returned from a six-game absence due to an illness, scoring at least 15 points for the first time in his past 11 appearances. As with most of the Brooklyn rotation, understanding where Williams fits is almost impossible. When he does play, he offers a small amount of defensive upside, coupled with an ability to score in bunches.

Williams (illness) is off the injury report for Monday's game against the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
Williams had missed Brooklyn's last six games due to an illness and subsequent return-to-play reconditioning, but the Nets are ready to give him the green light Monday. The forward has played at least 24 minutes in three of his past four outings (two starts), and Williams is a candidate to replace Cam Thomas (hamstring) in the first unit.

Williams (conditioning) won't play in Friday's game against the Bulls, per Sharif Phillips-Keaton of USA Today.
EDGE Analysis
Williams is recovered from an illness but now needs to go through his return-to-play conditioning. Terance Mann has a clearer path to minutes Friday with Williams out for a fourth straight outing.

Williams (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game in New Orleans.
EDGE Analysis
Wednesday will mark the third consecutive game on the inactive list for Williams due to this illness, and for now, he should be considered questionable for Friday's game versus the Bulls. That said, Williams had fallen out of the rotation before getting sick, so his absence from the active roster won't impact fantasy leagues.

Williams (illness) will not play Monday against Dallas.
EDGE Analysis
Williams will miss his second game in a row Monday, but he remains day-to-day. Fortunately for Brooklyn, Michael Porter will be back in action after getting some maintenance Sunday against Memphis.

Williams (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Grizzlies.
EDGE Analysis
Williams appeared to be a healthy scratch during Friday's loss against the Clippers despite starting Wednesday against the Magic. He may have been held out of Friday's contest while battling an illness, and his next chance to play is Monday against the Mavericks. Michael Porter (rest) and Drake Powell (knee) are also ruled out against Memphis, so Danny Wolf and Cam Thomas are both in line for elevated roles.
