Williams is trending toward missing Thursday's matchup as Portland continues to manage his left knee.

Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: Dominates rim against Golden State
Williams played 14 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's preseason win over the Warriors, scoring eight points (4-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and adding five rebounds, five blocks, an assist and a steal.
It was an impressive defensive showing from Williams, who should form an intriguing tandem in the paint with Donovan Clingan if he can stay healthy. Williams' 59 regular-season games played last season represented his highest total since 2021-22 with the Celtics, and he was on the court for only 26 total contests the two seasons prior.

Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: To sign 3-year deal with Portland
Williams will sign a three-year, $44 million contract with the Trail Blazers, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Williams likely would've had a big market in free agency, so the Trail Blazers quickly moved to lock him up. He'll be penciled in as the backup center behind Donovan Clingan for 2026-27. During the 2025-26 regular season, Williams averaged 6.7 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.5 blocks in 17.1 minutes per contest.

Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: Scores 11 points in Game 5
Williams supplied 11 points (5-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal across 17 minutes during Tuesday's 114-95 loss to San Antonio in Game 5 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Williams was incredibly important in this series with his ability to make life difficult for Victor Wembanyama. Injuries have really slowed down Williams' career trajectory, but he managed to play in 59 regular-season games in 2025-26, his most since 61 appearances in 2021-22. Across 59 regular-season outings, he averaged 6.7 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.5 blocks in 17.1 minutes per contest.

Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: Another quality effort Friday
Williams posted 11 points (5-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 25 minutes during Friday's 120-108 loss to the Spurs in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Williams has scored 11 points in every game of the series with the Spurs. While the 28-year-old fell one rebound shy of the double-double mark in each of his previous two appearances, it appears he may continue to be featured on both ends of the floor more than he was during the regular season, meaning Donovan Clingan might be spending additional time on the bench.

Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: Plays well off bench
Williams closed Tuesday's 106-103 victory over the Spurs in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs with 11 points (5-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal in 23 minutes.
Donovan Clingan has struggled in this series, so Williams may be asked to do a bit more going forward after making a strong impression Tuesday. He will be tasked with slowing down Victor Wembanyama, although San Antonio's franchise player is now in jeopardy of missing time with a concussion.
