  1D ago • By RotoWire

  Williams registered nine points (4-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 12 rebounds and one assist over 23 minutes in Friday's 108-104 overtime loss to the Celtics. Williams' 12 rebounds Friday were not only the most on the Nets but also a career high as he surpassed his 10-rebound effort against the Wizards on Oct. 28, 2023 as a member of the Grizzlies. Williams has been a key piece off the bench for the Nets this year, and he has played at least 20 minutes in five of the last six regular-season games.

• Nets' Ziaire Williams: Nabs two steals Monday

  4D ago • By RotoWire

  Williams chipped in two points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two steals and one assist in 21 minutes during Monday's 106-104 victory over the Grizzlies. Williams was a non-factor on the offensive end against his former squad. The 23-year-old reached double-digit points in three straight outings, though in his last two regular-season appearances he has amassed only six points, four rebounds, two steals and an assist while shooting a combined 2-for-7 from the field and 0-for-5 from three-point range. The fourth-year forward has yet to play fewer than 16 minutes in a game this year, though the eventual return of Noah Clowney (hip), Trendon Watford (hamstring) and Bojan Bogdanovic (foot) could affect Williams' playing time.

• Nets' Ziaire Williams: Impressive off bench Wednesday

  10D ago • By RotoWire

  Williams registered 17 points (6-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), one rebound, three assists, one block and four steals over 24 minutes during Wednesday's 119-106 victory over the Grizzlies. Williams might have played off the bench in this game, but he made his presence felt on both ends of the court as soon as he entered the contest. The fourth-year forward, who was facing his former team for the first time in his career, has been trending in the right direction recently and has scored in double digits in back-to-back games after a slow start to the campaign.

• Nets' Ziaire Williams: Drains four threes off bench

  11D ago • By RotoWire

  Williams had 18 points (7-8 FG, 4-5 3Pt), three rebounds, four assists and one block in 22 minutes off the bench during Tuesday's 144-139 overtime loss to the Nuggets. The former Grizzly put together his best game so far with the Nets, setting season highs in points, threes and assists. Williams has had a significant role on the second unit to begin 2024-25, but his usage will likely shrink once Bojan Bogdanovic (foot) is ready to make his season debut.

• Nets' Ziaire Williams: Two-way contributions Friday

  22D ago • By RotoWire

  Williams managed 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-3 3PT), eight rebounds, four steals, two assists and two blocks in 27 minutes during Friday's preseason loss to Toronto. Williams was fantastic off the bench, continuing his impressive preseason. After coming up short for the majority of his career, Williams finds himself in a favorable position, playing for a team that can afford to have him on the floor, even through the rough patches. While he probably isn't worth drafting at this point, he is someone to watch should Brooklyn opt to throw him out there a bit more as the season progresses.
