Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: Lands in concussion protocol
Portland placed Williams in concussion protocol Tuesday, and he's been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Pacers.With Deandre Ayton (finger) and Donovan Clingan (knee) sidelined, Williams made his first start of the season Monday in Memphis but lasted only 12 minutes before suffering the concussion. The oft-injured big man will have a few hurdles to clear before suiting up again, but he can be considered questionable for Friday's game against the Kings.

Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: Out for rest of Monday's game
The Portland Trail Blazers announced that Williams won't return to Monday's game against the Grizzlies while he undergoes an evaluation for a concussion. He recorded six points (1-4 FG, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, three blocks, one assist and one steal across 12 minutes before exiting.It's unclear when Williams suffered the head injury, nor will be known whether he's been diagnosed with a concussion until after the Trail Blazers complete their testing. In any case, Williams' absence for the rest of the contest is untimely news for the Blazers, who were already without centers Deandre Ayton (finger) and Donovan Clingan (knee). Duop Reath and Jabari Walker should eat up minutes at center down the stretch.

His status for Wednesday's rematch against the Timberwolves is uncertain, however, as Williams acknowledged after the contest that he could be rested for the second half of a back-to-back set with Minnesota, according to Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland. The potential absence of Williams would lead to even more minutes for Donovan Clingan, especially if Ayton remains sidelined as well.
