Inactive for Opening Night
Williams (wrist) is listed as inactive ahead of Tuesday's regular-season opener against the Rockets, Tim MacMahon of ESPN reports.

Williams will miss Opening Night after undergoing offseason surgery on his right wrist, though he isn't expected to miss an extended period. With the star forward sidelined, Alex Caruso, Aaron Wiggins and Cason Wallace are candidates for an uptick in playing time against Houston.
