The Jazz assigned Williams to the G League's Salt Lake City Stars on Monday, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Larsen notes that Williams' minutes have dropped to 12.5 per contest over his last five outings, so it makes sense for the No. 10 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft to get some extra live reps.

Jazz's Cody Williams: Unflattering performance
Rotowire
Williams accumulated zero points (0-2 FG), two assists and one steal across 15 minutes during Tuesday's 120-112 loss to Phoenix.
Despite continuing to start for the Jazz, Williams has been unable to deliver anything close to meaningful production. Having now started seven straight games following a season-ending injury to Taylor Hendricks, Williams has scored double-digit points just once. With very little to add in terms of peripheral numbers, Williams' short-term outlook is far from rosy.

Jazz's Cody Williams: Minimal output in starting role
Rotowire
Williams produced nine points (3-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt), two assists and two steals in 30 minutes during Tuesday's 113-96 loss to Sacramento.
Williams moved to the starting lineup following the leg injury sustained by Taylor Hendricks on Monday, but the rookie had a rough time in the first start of his NBA career. Williams should eventually improve as the season progresses, and he could see even more usage in the short term if Lauri Markkanen (back) misses time.

Jazz's Cody Williams: Ready for training camp
Rotowire
Williams (illness) will be a full participant in training camp, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Williams missed Utah's Summer League finale with an illness, but his status for camp wasn't in doubt. The No. 10 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, Williams should be able to compete for a rotation spot right away with the Jazz undergoing a rebuild.

Williams recorded 14 points (6-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one steal and two blocks in 31 minutes during Monday's 82-70 Summer League loss to the Kings.
Williams failed to connect from beyond the arc, but he contributed almost everywhere else, which included a team-high two swats.
