Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: Sitting first end of B2B
Rotowire
Williams (injury management) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Celtics.
Williams will be inactive for the first leg of Portland's back-to-back set. He's yet to play in both sides of a back-to-back this season. His absence should mean more minutes for Duop Reath and Yang Hansen. The Trail Blazers face the Mavericks on Monday.

Rotowire
Williams (rest) won't play Tuesday against the Magic.
Tuesday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set, and Williams hasn't been cleared to play in both halves yet. It remains to be seen if Duop Reath or Yang Hansen will pick up some backup center minutes Tuesday. Williams posted eight points (3-3 FG, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and one block in 14 minutes during Monday's loss to the Pistons.

Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: Double-double off bench Sunday
Rotowire
Williams amassed 11 points (4-4 FG, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and one steal across 19 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 136-131 victory over the Warriors.
After missing the prior two games due to an illness, Williams joined the second unit in his return and posted a very efficient line while recording his first double-double of 2025-26. The 28-year-old center has started only once in his 16 appearances so far this season, with Sunday's 11 points representing his season high, and as long as Donovan Clingan stays healthy, Williams will have to be content with a spot on the bench.

Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: Won't play Sunday
Rotowire
Williams (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Memphis.
Williams will be joined on the sidelines by Donovan Clingan (leg) Sunday, so Duop Reath could be headed for a start and Yang Hansen might be able to get into the rotation. Portland doesn't play again until Thursday in New Orleans, giving Williams plenty of time to get over his current illness.

Rotowire
Williams totaled eight points (4-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt), 14 rebounds, one assist and five blocks in 30 minutes during Friday's 122-116 loss to the Pistons.
With Donovan Clingan (leg) unavailable for Friday's game, Williams earned a spot-start and set new season highs in minutes, rebounds and blocks. If Clingan needs to miss Sunday's game in Memphis as well, Williams would make sense as a streaming target in fantasy leagues.

Williams (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Pistons.
Williams will shed his questionable tag due to left knee injury management after sitting out Wednesday's win over Cleveland.

Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: Questionable for Friday
Rotowire
Williams (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Pistons.
It's slightly concerning to see the veteran center on the injury report after he missed Wednesday's game against Cleveland due to knee injury management. It's worth noting Friday is not the front end of a back-to-back. Duop Reath would likely handle a couple more backup center minutes if Williams is out.

Rotowire
Williams registered eight points (3-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four blocks and one steal in 16 minutes during Monday's 115-103 win over the Bucks.
Williams has missed two of the past four games, but when he has laced up, he has totaled 16 points, 16 rebounds, seven blocks, two assists, and a steal in 37 minutes. Talent has never been a question for Williams, but rather his availability. Things are going relatively well for him on that front so far, though. He's played 11 games already after playing 20 total last season, six the year before and 35 the year before that.
