Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: Returns to action Sunday

Williams (concussion/reconditioning) finished with eight points (4-4 FG), three rebounds and one assist over 17 minutes during Sunday's 116-109 loss to Phoenix.

Williams returned to action following a seven-game absence caused by a concussion and subsequent reconditioning period. With Deandre Ayton (illness) sidelined Sunday, Williams operated as the primary backup to Donovan Clingan, who made his first start since Nov. 23. When Ayton and Clingan are both healthy, it's unclear how much playing time will be available for Williams, who will likely have to play out of position at times in order to maintain a consistent spot in the rotation.
