  • Grizzlies' Vince Williams: Handles light role in return

    Williams (ankle) tallied four points (2-5 FG, 0-1 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two steals in 13 minutes off the bench Wednesday in the Grizzlies' 138-107 win over the Raptors.

    Though he saw limited playing time in his return from a 35-game absence due to a Grade 3 right ankle sprain, Williams produced well during his time on the court and should have a good chance of maintaining a spot in the rotation moving forward. However, the Grizzlies are teeming with quality options on the wing, which means that Williams could struggle to move into a consistent 20-plus-minute role. Even with Desmond Bane (ankle) facing an uncertain timeline for a return, the Grizzlies still have Jaylen Wells, Luke Kennard, Marcus Smart, Jake LaRavia and GG Jackson on hand to push Williams for playing time.

  • Grizzlies' Vince Williams: Cleared to play Wednesday

    Williams (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.

    Williams has been upgraded from questionable to available and is cleared to make his first appearance since Nov. 19. Given the lengthy layoff, Williams will likely face heavy restrictions, but with Desmond Bane (foot) sidelined, there should be minutes available for Williams.

  • Grizzlies' Vince Williams: Questionable to return Wednesday

    Williams (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.

    Williams hasn't been in action since Nov. 19 due to a Grade 3 right ankle sprain. He progressed enough in his recovery to be deemed week-to-week in late January, and he has a chance at making his return to the court Wednesday. Williams has played in just three regular-season games and has averaged 5.3 points and 3.7 rebounds over 15.0 minutes per contest.

  • Grizzlies' Vince Williams: Deemed doubtful for Monday

    Williams (ankle) has been upgraded to doubtful for Monday's game against the Spurs.

    Williams was previously deemed week-to-week while he works his way back from a Grade 3 right ankle sprain sustained Nov. 19, but the fact that the Grizzlies are now listing him as doubtful ahead of Monday's contest suggests that he's nearing a return. Assuming he's out for Monday, Williams' next chance to play will arrive Wednesday against Toronto. Williams will likely be under a heavy minute restriction whenever he's cleared to suit up.

  • Grizzlies' Vince Williams: Ruled out Monday

    Williams (ankle) is officially out for Monday's game against the Spurs.

    Williams has appeared in only three contests this season, averaging 5.3 points, 3.7 rebounds and 0.7 blocks over 15.0 minutes in those games. However, the fact that he was elevated to doubtful before being ruled out prior to Monday night suggests a return is imminent.

  • Grizzlies' Vince Williams: Deemed week-to-week

    The Grizzlies announced Wednesday that Williams (ankle) continues to progress and is now viewed as week-to-week, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports.

    Williams hasn't played since Nov. 19 after suffering a Grade 3 right ankle sprain in just his third appearance of the season. After missing four weeks, Williams was re-evaluated in late December, with the Grizzlies announcing that he was expected to resume playing in 3-to-6 weeks. At this point, Williams looks to be tracking toward the longer end of that timeframe, potentially setting him up to return shortly before or after the All-Star break. Once healthy, Williams will likely struggle to capture a consistent 20-plus-minute role in a crowded Grizzlies wing rotation, so he likely won't be worth holding in most redraft leagues amid his ongoing absence.

  • Grizzlies' Vince Williams: Not returning Monday

    Williams (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Knicks.

    Williams has been out of action since Nov. 19 due to a Grade 3 right ankle sprain. He's still progressing through his recovery, but his return to game action shouldn't be viewed as imminent until he's cleared for full-contact, 5-on-5 practices.

  • Grizzlies' Vince Williams: Lacks clear return timeline

    Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins said Monday that Williams (ankle) is progressing well and is expected to be cleared for full-court basketball activities later this week but remains without a clear timeline for returning to game action, Rob Fischer of FanDuel Sports Network Southeast reports.

    Williams has been out since Nov. 19 with a Grade 3 right ankle sprain. After he was re-evaluated four weeks later, the Grizzlies then announced that Williams would likely need 3-to-6 weeks to ramp up and make his return to game action. Williams has now reached the three-week mark since being re-evaluated, and based on the update provided by Jenkins, the third-year forward may be trending closer to the six-week mark for his return. The Grizzlies will see how he responds to full-court work this week before potentially clearing him for full-contact, 5-on-5 practices at some point in the second half of January.

  • Grizzlies' Vince Williams: Expected back in 3-to-6 weeks

    Williams is progressing well in his recovery from a Grade 3 right ankle sprain and the team expects him to return to game action in 3-to-6 weeks.

    Williams sustained the ankle injury on Nov. 19 in just his third matchup back following a 12-game absence due to a left tibial stress reaction. With the 24-year-old still expected to miss significant time, Santi Aldama and Jake LaRavia should continue receiving extended minutes. Williams is coming off a productive 2023-24 campaign, during which he averaged 10.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 0.9 steals while shooting 37.8 percent from three-point range across 27.6 minutes per contest in 52 regular-season outings.

  • Grizzlies' Vince Williams: Out at least four weeks

    The Grizzlies announced Thursday that Williams has been diagnosed with a Grade 3 right ankle sprain and will be re-evaluated in approximately four weeks.

    Williams suffered his ankle injury during the second quarter of Tuesday's game versus the Nuggets and will now be sidelined for an extended period. In his absence, Santi Aldama, Jake LaRavia and John Konchar (illness) are candidates to receive increased playing time.

  • Grizzlies' Vince Williams: Won't play Wednesday

    Williams (ankle) will not play Wednesday against the 76ers.

    Williams suffered a right ankle sprain Tuesday against the Nuggets and was unable to return, so it's not a surprise to see him being held out Wednesday. Marcus Smart (illness) and John Konchar (illness) are both doubtful, catapulting Luke Kennard and Jake LaRavia onto the streaming radar.

  • Grizzlies' Vince Williams: Leaves early with ankle injury

    Williams recorded four points (2-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and five rebounds in seven minutes during Tuesday's 122-110 loss to the Nuggets before exiting the game with 3:14 remaining in the second quarter due to a right ankle injury.

    The Grizzlies labeled Williams as doubtful to return shortly after he suffered the injury, and he ultimately didn't see any action in the second half. The Grizzlies will close out a back-to-back set Wednesday against the 76ers, and it wouldn't be surprising if Williams ended up missing that game.

  • Grizzlies' Vince Williams: Unlikely to return Tuesday

    Williams (ankle) is doubtful to return to Tuesday's game versus the Nuggets, Kelly Iko of The Athletic reports.

    Williams saw just seven minutes of action before suffering a right ankle injury in the second quarter of Tuesday's contest. In his expected absence, Santi Aldama and John Konchar could receive extended playing time off the bench in Memphis' forward rotation.

  • Grizzlies' Vince Williams: Heads to locker room

    Williams appeared to injure his right ankle and was helped to the locker room with 3:14 remaining in the second quarter of Tuesday's game versus the Nuggets, Kelly Iko of The Athletic reports.

    Williams tallied four points (2-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and five rebounds in seven minutes before exiting Tuesday's contest. If the 24-year-old forward is unable to return, Santi Aldama and John Konchar are candidates to receive increased playing time.

  • Grizzlies' Vince Williams: Sees just 14 minutes

    Williams provided three points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), one rebound and five assists in 14 minutes during Sunday's 105-90 win over Denver.

    This was a disappointing workload for Williams, as the Grizzlies opted to get Luke Kennard and Jake LaRavia more involved off the bench Sunday. Williams has plenty of upside as he demonstrated many times last season, but it will be tough for him to provide consistent value with such a sporadic role, especially when Marcus Smart (illness), Ja Morant (hip) and Zach Edey (ankle) all return to action.

  • Grizzlies' Vince Williams: Well-rounded line off bench

    Williams (tibia) played 24 minutes off the bench and finished with nine points (4-9 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-4 FT), five rebounds, four assists and two blocks in Friday's 123-118 loss to the Warriors.

    Poor shooting from the free-throw line aside, Williams delivered quality numbers across the board in his season debut after having missed the Grizzlies' first 12 games with a left tibial stress reaction. Williams' return to action coincided with Desmond Bane's (27 minutes) return, and with Marcus Smart (ankle) also playing in his second contest following a multi-game absence due to injury, the Grizzlies are now back to full strength on the wing. As a result, Williams may not see his minutes pick up dramatically from what he received Friday, which could make it difficult for him to re-emerge as a meaningful asset in 12-team category leagues.

  • Grizzlies' Vince Williams: Available to play Friday

    Williams (lower leg) is available for Friday's game against the Warriors.

    Williams went through Friday's shootaround and will be eligible to return in this contest. However, he's not expected to play a significant role coming off the bench, so his fantasy upside in most slates should be minimal.

  • Grizzlies' Vince Williams: Goes through shootaround

    Williams (lower leg) went through shootaround ahead of Friday's game versus the Warriors, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeall reports.

    Williams is officially listed as questionable for Friday's contest after missing Memphis' first 12 games while recovering from a left tibial stress reaction. However, Williams' participation in shootaround is a good sign for his availability against Golden State.

  • Grizzlies' Vince Williams: Upgraded to questionable for Friday

    Williams (lower leg) is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Warriors.

    Williams has yet to make his season debut, though the questionable tag suggests he is nearing a return to game action. The 24-year-old has been ramping up for a return with the G League's Memphis Hustle, but if he is unable to suit up Friday, his next chance to debut will come Sunday against Denver. When available, Williams will likely have strict limitations at first.

  • Grizzlies' Vince Williams: Officially out

    Williams (lower leg) won't play in Wednesday's game against the Lakers.

    Williams was labeled doubtful for the contest, so his absence doesn't come as much of a surprise. He'll look to make his 2024-25 debut Friday against Golden State.
