Cleared to play
Williams (foot) is good to go Friday against the Knicks.
Analysis
Williams will shake off his questionable tag for this contest. Over his last three appearances, he's averaging 7.0 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 20.2 minutes per contest. Williams should continue to play an elevated role as long as Michael Porter (hamstring), Noah Clowney (wrist) and Terance Mann (illness) remain sidelined.

Iffy for Friday
Williams (foot) is questionable for Friday's game against the Knicks.
Analysis
Williams is battling left foot soreness, which is jeopardizing his status for Friday. Rookies Danny Wolf and Drake Powell would have a clearer path to playing time if Williams cannot play.
