Resting Wednesday
Williams has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves due to rest.
Analysis
Williams has missed considerable time due to injuries over the previous two seasons, so Portland's decision to hold him out for the second leg of a back-to-back set comes as little surprise. The 27-year-old logged a season-high 25 minutes Tuesday and should be fresh for the Trail Blazers' next game Sunday versus Atlanta.

Excellent in win Tuesday
Williams produced 19 points (9-10 FG, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, three assists, three blocks and three steals across 25 minutes during Tuesday's 122-108 win over Minnesota.
Analysis
Williams looked dominant on both ends of the court Tuesday and delivered one of his best outings in recent memory, taking full advantage Deandre Ayton's (finger) absence. His status for Wednesday's rematch against the Timberwolves is uncertain, however, as Williams acknowledged after the contest that he could be rested for the second half of a back-to-back set with Minnesota, according to Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland. The potential absence of Williams would lead to even more minutes for Donovan Clingan, especially if Ayton remains sidelined as well.

Returns to game Tuesday
Williams has returned to Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves, Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland reports.
Analysis
Williams went back to the locker room in the second quarter, though he was able to come back for the third. The big man should be able to handle his normal workload the rest of the way.

Goes to locker room Tuesday
Williams (undisclosed) went back to the locker room in the second quarter of Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.
Analysis
Williams left the game and went straight back to the locker room with a trainer. The nature of the injury is currently unknown, and if the big man is unable to return, Kris Murray and Deni Avdija could see an uptick in playing time with Deandre Ayton (finger) ruled out prior to the game.

Strong showing in season debut
Williams (hamstring) tallied 13 points (4-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block across 17 minutes in Friday's 127-102 loss to the Timberwolves.
Analysis
After completing his recovery from a hamstring strain that sidelined him for Portland's first eight games of the season, Williams was cleared to play ahead of Monday's game against the Pelicans, but he didn't see any minutes in that contest. He again went unused in Thursday's 118-105 loss to the Spurs, but head coach Chauncey Billups opened up room in the rotation for Williams on the second leg of the back-to-back set. Though Williams is best suited for playing center, he saw some time at power forward Friday alongside rookie center Donovan Clingan. Williams produced well during his time on the court and even knocked down the first three-pointer of his career, which could inspire Billups to keep deploying Williams alongside either Clingan or starting center Deandre Ayton. While Williams has been a strong per-minute performer throughout his career, the Trail Blazers could look to keep him under 20 minutes in most games in an effort to manage his health after injuries have limited him to just 41 total appearances over the prior two seasons.
