Williams (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers, Sam Perley of the Hornets' official site reports. Williams will miss back-to-back games due to an ankle injury to end his 2023-24 campaign. After a slow start with the Mavericks, Williams was shipped to Charlotte at the deadline and was a consistent producer. He made 29 appearances (10 starts) for the Hornets and averaged 13.9 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.1 steals-plus-blocks in 30.6 minutes per game. Williams is still under contract for three more seasons.

Williams (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers. Williams was unable to play Friday against Boston, but the forward remains day-to-day. If he's unable to suit up Sunday, guys like Aleksej Pokusevski and Marques Bolden could step up.

Williams (ankle) won't play Friday against the Celtics. Williams was listed questionable due to a right ankle sprain, and it's been decided he's not healthy enough to suit up. Aleksej Pokusevski and Marques Bolden should see more chances at center with Williams and Nick Richards (foot) sidelined.

Williams posted 16 points (5-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one steal in 27 minutes during Wednesday's 115-114 win over the Hawks. Williams drew a sixth consecutive start Wednesday and was nearly perfect from the floor in the narrow win. He's scored in double figures in five of his last six appearances, averaging 15.5 points, 5.7 assists and 5.3 rebounds in 33.5 minutes per game while shooting 55.6 percent from the floor.

Williams finished Sunday's 121-118 loss to the Thunder with 19 points (7-10 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals in 38 minutes. Williams seems poised to end the season as a starter for the rebuilding Hornets, as he's been part of the first unit in his last four appearances. Perhaps more impressive is the fact that he was part of the first unit even though Nick Richards was back in the rotation following a three-game absence. Williams is averaging 10.3 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game when deployed in a starting lineup this season.
