Rotowire
Williams is listed out for Friday's game against the Thunder due to a personal matter.
The Nets haven't indicated if Williams will be back with the team for the final game of its road trip Sunday in Atlanta. With Williams sitting out Friday along with Nic Claxton (ankle) and with rookie first-round pick Ben Saraf currently in the G League, the Nets should have openings in the rotation for Terance Mann, Jalen Wilson and Ochai Agbaji.

Nets' Ziaire Williams: Starting Wednesday
Rotowire
Williams is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Indiana, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.
Williams will make his fifth start of the season and his first since Jan. 7. He'll be joined by Nolan Traore, Egor Demin, Terance Mann and Day'Ron Sharpe in the first unit for the shorthanded Nets.
Williams (calf) finished Tuesday's 125-109 loss to the Lakers with 17 points (7-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt), three assists, two rebounds and one steal over 24 minutes.
Williams was given the green light to return Tuesday from a three-game absence due to a left calf contusion. He ended up replacing Terance Mann in the Brooklyn rotation and delivered a big outing off the bench, recording all 17 of his points in the second half. Williams did much of his damage well after the Lakers already had the outcome well in hand, so he could struggle to pick up as minutes during games in which the Nets are more competitive.

Nets' Ziaire Williams: Contributes 11 points from bench
Rotowire
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.
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.

Nets' Ziaire Williams: Scores 15 points in return
Rotowire
Williams (illness) logged 15 points (4-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, two steals and one assist across 24 minutes during Monday's 126-117 loss to Phoenix.
Williams returned from a five-game absence due to an illness and came through with an efficient scoring performance. Prior to falling ill, Williams was left out of the rotation in a coach's decision in the Nets' Jan. 9 loss to the Clippers, so it's unclear if he'll have a regular role on the second unit waiting for him when Brooklyn is at full strength. The Nets were without Egor Demin (foot), Cam Thomas (hamstring) and Day'Ron Sharpe (illness) on Monday but could get all three players back for their next game Wednesday versus the Knicks.

Nets' Ziaire Williams: Removed from injury report
Rotowire
Williams (illness) is off the injury report for Monday's game against the Suns.
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.

Nets' Ziaire Williams: Won't play Friday
Rotowire
Williams (conditioning) won't play in Friday's game against the Bulls, per Sharif Phillips-Keaton of USA Today.
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.
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.
