Grizzlies' Vince Williams: Will remain out for multiple weeks
The Grizzlies announced Friday that Williams (lower leg) continues to progress in his rehab and is expected to return to play within 2-to-4 weeks.
Williams missed all of training camp and the preseason due to a stress reaction in the upper portion of his left tibia, and he's remained sidelined to start the regular season. After a breakout campaign for the injury-riddled Grizzlies last season, Williams will be looking at a reduced role when cleared, especially if Memphis is healthy.

Grizzlies' Vince Williams: Out until at least November
Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins said Monday that Williams (shin) is "still a couple weeks away" from being ready for game action, Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
Williams will likely be re-evaluated later this month before the Grizzlies potentially clear him to resume basketball activities, but he'll require some ramp-up time after he missed all of training camp and the preseason with a stress reaction in the upper portion of his left tibia. As a second-year player in 2023-24, Williams saw ample playing time for a Grizzlies squad that was decimated by injuries, finishing the season with 10.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.5 three-pointers, 0.9 steals and 0.7 blocks in 27.6 minutes over his 56 appearances. He should be part of the rotation when healthy, but Williams will be looking at a smaller role if the likes of Ja Morant, Desmond Bane and Marcus Smart are able to stay on the court more frequently in 2024-25.

Grizzlies' Vince Williams: Out at least four weeks
The Grizzlies announced Thursday that imaging has revealed a stress reaction in the upper portion of Williams' tibia and he will be re-evaluated in approximately four weeks.
While Williams is expected to make a full recovery, he will almost certainly miss all of training camp and the preseason. The 24-year-old forward could remain sidelined for Memphis' regular-season opener Oct. 23 against Utah. Williams is slated to be one of the Grizzlies' top forward options off the bench when healthy this season.

Williams hasn't suited up since March 8 due to left patellar tendinitis, and that streak will now reach 13 games.

Grizzlies' Vince Williams: Remains out Saturday
Williams (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Magic.
Williams' absence streak due to left knee patellar tendinitis will extend to 10 games Saturday. The second-year forward's next chance to suit up will come Monday in Detroit, but he doesn't have a return timetable and can probably be considered doubtful for that contest. Though head coach Taylor Jenkins said Friday that Derrick Rose (back/groin) and Ziaire Williams (back/hip) are unlikely to return this season, Vince Williams' situation is considered more fluid as he recovers from the knee issue, according to Damichael Cole of The Memphis Commercial Appeal.
