Matt Williams: Will be waived by Heat
Williams will be waived by the Heat, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Williams has seen the floor just three times for the Heat, as he's spent the majority of the season playing with the team's G-League affiliate. However, the Heat apparently aren't exactly thrilled with his progress and are now expected to add Derrick Jones as a two-way player. For that reason, that need to open a roster spot, which sends Williams back to the free agent pool. Unless he fields interest elsewhere in the NBA, Williams will likely sign in the G-League or potentially head overseas if a more lucrative contract is offered.

Heat's Matt Williams: Will be recalled from G-League
Williams will be recalled from the G-League in time for Wednesday's game against the Celtics, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Williams has spent the majority of this season with the Heat's G-League affiliate, playing in 16 games and averaging 9.6 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists across 30.2 minutes. Those aren't necessarily impressive numbers for that level of competition, though he'll still rejoin the Heat for his second stint at the big league level this season. Williams will likely be nothing more than emergency depth with starting point guard Goran Dragic dealing with an elbow injury.

Williams was assigned to the G-League on Saturday, Anthony Chiang of the Palm Beach Post reports.

Heat's Matt Williams: Converted to two-way contract
Williams will remain with the Heat on a two-way contract.
Williams joined the Heat for training camp on a non-guaranteed deal and while he didn't have an overly impressive preseason, he did show plenty of upside in practice and the team likes his potential. Instead of using a regular roster spot on Williams, they'll instead convert his contract to a two-way deal, which means he'll be able to spend up to 45 days with the Heat during the season, while working closely with the team's G-League affiliate for the rest of the time. That should aid in his development, though it means he's not going to be a relevant fantasy player. Williams is most known for his three-point shooting ability.
