Williams will sign a three-year, $44 million contract with the Trail Blazers, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Williams likely would've had a big market in free agency, so the Trail Blazers quickly moved to lock him up. He'll be penciled in as the backup center behind Donovan Clingan for 2026-27. During the 2025-26 regular season, Williams averaged 6.7 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.5 blocks in 17.1 minutes per contest.
