Williams has been ruled out of Sunday's preseason opener against the Knicks due to a minor hamstring injury, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Williams tweaked his hamstring near the end of training camp and his status for a return to game action is unclear. The injury is minor, but the club could look to work the 25-year-old back to form slowly until Opening Night. Williams' next opportunity to feature will come Tuesday versus the Heat.
