Mavericks' Brandon Williams: Suffers leg contusion
Rotowire
Williams suffered a right lower leg contusion Saturday against the Rockets and will not return, Christian Clark of The Athletic reports.
Williams banged knees with Reed Sheppard and was hobbling pretty good. He was having a productive game prior to leaving, finishing with 13 points (5-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and one turnover across nine minutes. Ryan Nembhard could pick up some minutes as a result.
Williams closed with 15 points (6-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound, six assists and two steals in 21 minutes during Thursday's 123-121 loss to the Hornets.
Williams reached the 15-point mark for the fourth straight game, and for the seventh time across his last eight appearances. The fourth-year guard continues to have a solid season, even if he's moved to a bench role. He's averaging 15.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 0.8 steals per game since the beginning of January.

Rotowire
Williams is questionable for Thursday's game against Charlotte due to a right ankle sprain.
It's worth noting Thursday is the second night of back-to-back games for the Mavericks. If Williams ends up sitting out against the Hornets, Jaden Hardy and Ryan Nembhard could be worth considering as streamers.

Mavericks' Brandon Williams: Scores 17 points in loss
Rotowire
Williams provided 17 points (4-10 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 8-12 FT), five rebounds and three assists across 24 minutes during Wednesday's 118-105 loss to Minnesota.
Williams briefly exited Wednesday's game with a right foot issue, and while he was able to return and play through it, it wouldn't be shocking to see him pop up on the injury report ahead of Thursday's matchup with Charlotte. If Williams needs to sit out the second leg of this back-to-back set, his minutes would likely be divvied up amongst Jaden Hardy and Ryan Nembhard.

Rotowire
Williams accumulated 20 points (8-17 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds and four assists across 23 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 116-110 loss to the Lakers.
The 26-year-old guard's three-point shot has deserted him this season, but Williams is making up for it in the mid-range. He's scored 20-plus points in three of the last six games (two starts), averaging 17.5 points, 3.8 boards, 3.0 assists and 0.8 combined steals and blocks in 23.2 minutes a contest over that stretch while shooting 58.5 percent from the floor, but going just 2-for-11 (18.2 percent) from beyond the arc.

Mavericks' Brandon Williams: Adds 22 points in victory
Rotowire
Williams finished with 22 points (8-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, five assists and two steals in 28 minutes during Saturday's 138-120 win over the Jazz.
Williams drew another start Saturday with Cooper Flagg (ankle) sidelined and managed to remain locked in on both ends of the court. He's now put up 18 or more points in four of his last five appearances and was more involved than he typically is as a passer. Look for Williams to continue in this elevated role until Flagg is cleared to return.
