Rotowire
Coach Jason Kidd said Williams (thumb) did not participate in Friday's practice, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Williams was held out of practice while he deals with a sprained right thumb.

Rotowire
Williams was ruled out ahead of Tuesday's 118-104 loss to the Thunder due to a right thumb sprain.
One of Dallas' three two-way players, Williams has seen the overwhelming majority of his playing time in the G League this season, so his absence Tuesday didn't have any impact on head coach Jason Kidd's rotation. Williams will likely head back to the Texas Legends once he's moved past the thumb injury.

Rotowire
Williams (calf) will not play in Thursday's preseason game against the Jazz.

Mavericks' Brandon Williams: Pours in 22 points in finale
Rotowire
Williams ended with 22 points (8-21 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds and three assists in 30 minutes during Sunday's 135-86 loss to the Thunder.
Williams ended up appearing in each of the Mavericks' final four games of the season, though his 30-minute workload in the finale was by far his largest of the season. He benefited from the increased playing time by virtue of Dallas holding out or limiting most of its key rotation players and ultimately finished the 2023-24 campaign with averages of 3.2 points, 1.0 assists and 0.8 rebounds in 6.6 minutes over 17 appearances. Since he's a two-way player, Williams won't be eligible to compete in the playoffs for Dallas.

Rotowire

Mavericks' Brandon Williams: Inks two-way deal with Mavs
Rotowire
Williams agreed Wednesday to a two-way contract with Dallas, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Williams has spent the 2023-24 season with the G League's Osceola Magic, averaging 23.9 points, 5.6 assists, 4.4 rebounds, 2.9 three-pointers and 1.8 steals in 34.4 minutes per game while shooting 47.4 percent from the floor over 13 appearances. The 24-year-old guard appeared in 24 games with the Trail Blazers as a rookie in 2021-22 but hasn't seen NBA action since. Dallas already has all three of its two-way slots full, so the team will have to either waive one of A.J. Lawson, Greg Brown and Dexter Dennis or add him to the 15-man roster.

Timberwolves' Brandon Williams: Impresses against Pelicans
Rotowire
Williams recorded 24 points (8-14 FG, 1-3 3PT, 7-9 FT), three assists, two rebounds and three steals across 29 minutes of Friday's 102-88 Summer League victory over New Orleans.
Williams had a cup of coffee with the Blazers back in 2021-22, appearing in 24 games. Last season, he played for the Skyhawks in the G League and was one of their featured players. He looked outstanding running the point for Minnesota on Friday, so it will be interesting to see if his strong play will catch the eye of NBA teams looking to fill out their training camp rosters.
