Under the weather
Williams (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Grizzlies.
Analyse
Williams appeared to be a healthy scratch during Friday's loss against the Clippers despite starting Wednesday against the Magic. He may have been held out of Friday's contest while battling an illness, and his next chance to play is Monday against the Mavericks. Michael Porter (rest) and Drake Powell (knee) are also ruled out against Memphis, so Danny Wolf and Cam Thomas are both in line for elevated roles.

Drops out of rotation
Williams (coach's decision) went unused off the bench in Friday's 121-105 loss to the Clippers.
Analyse
Williams had started twice in the past four contests and played at least 19 minutes in each of those contests, but he moved out of the rotation entirely Friday while Terance Mann took back his spot in the starting five following a one-game absence in a coach's decision. Head coach Jordi Fernandez seemingly prefers to run with a 10-man rotation more often than not, which means Williams could frequently find himself out of the mix when the Nets have all of their key contributors available like they did Friday.
