Ziaire Williams's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Memphis Grizzlies forward Ziaire Williams (hip/back) is the second player on the team to be deemed unlikely to be back for the rest of this season. Teammate Derrick Rose (groin) is the other one who is likely to watch from the sidelines for the last couple of weeks as the Grizzlies shut down anyone who's not one hundred percent healthy. The third-year forward has already missed 22 games so far this year, so it's more beneficial to the team to let him rest until next season when they have a healthier roster. In the meantime, Lamar Stevens, Jake LaRavia, and Scottie Pippen Jr. will be better streaming options to finish out the season.

Memphis Grizzlies small forward Ziaire Williams (back) will be out for the rest of the month after the team announced that he would be re-evaluated in four weeks. The 22-year-old has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 strain of a hip flexor and his lower back. He was already forced to miss Monday's matchup against Brooklyn. Williams had made six consecutive starts with the Grizzlies before getting hurt. John Konchar took on the role of a starter without Williams on Monday, with Jake LaRavia also getting a big boost in playing time off the bench. Konchar tends to be quite anonymous on the court, but LaRavia is an interesting guy to monitor. He had a double-double in 29 minutes on Monday, and his recent efforts also include a 21-point outing versus Portland.

Memphis Grizzlies small forward Ziaire Williams (hip) won't play on Monday against Brooklyn. The 22-year-old was injured in the previous game against Portland and steps out of the lineup with a right hip flexor strain. Williams has played a significant role for the Grizzlies lately, starting in six consecutive games. He's shown flashes of good upside, averaging 10.3 points and 5.4 rebounds in 15 starts across the season. The Memphis rotation is more unpredictable than the weather, but the likes of Jake LaRavia, John Konchar, and Luke Kennard might get extra opportunities without Williams.

Memphis Grizzlies small forward Ziaire Williams (hand) is considered doubtful to face the Pelicans on Monday. He's been out for eight games with a left hand injury, and the chances of Williams returning on Monday don't appear to be high. Williams had a spell as a starter early in the campaign, but he's struggled for consistency. The 22-year-old has tallied 7.7 points and 3.4 rebounds across 18.8 minutes.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Ziaire Williams (hand) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Williams will miss his second game in a row due to left hand soreness. The Grizzlies are banged up at the moment, so the absence of Williams opens up significant playing time in the rotation. GG Jackson II is a candidate to see possibly 30 minutes off the bench on Thursday. Sadly, Jackson hasn't been too consistent, which makes him a risky streaming option for this one.
