Robert Williams III Fantasy Stats

Portland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III (concussion) will miss a fourth consecutive game on Tuesday versus the Clippers. He hasn't traveled to Los Angeles as Williams III remains in concussion protocol. Donovan Clingan (knee) is also currently out, giving Deandre Ayton a big workload. During the team's frontcourt injury crisis, Deni Avdija has also logged some minutes as a center. The Portland centers should be in for a good night on Tuesday, as the Clippers give up the seventh-most fantasy points to opposing fives.

Portland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III (concussion) won't play in Wednesday's meeting with the Pacers. With Deandre Ayton (finger) and Donovan Clingan (knee) sidelined, Williams got the start in Monday's game versus the Memphis Grizzlies. Unfortunately, he suffered a concussion after logging only 12 minutes. Ayton has a chance to return on Wednesday, so that would help lessen the blow caused by Williams' absence. But if Ayton is ruled out, Duop Reath deserves streaming attention. Reath would also be a popular DFS value option.

Portland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III (concussion) won't return to Monday's matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies. The Blazers entered Monday night without Deandre Ayton (finger) and Donovan Clingan (knee), resulting in Williams getting the start. Unfortunately, he logged only 12 minutes on the night before exiting for a concussion evaluation, although he still totaled six points, six rebounds, three blocks, and one steal. Portland will play again on Wednesday night versus Indiana, so it's possible Williams carries an injury designation heading into that one, assuming he's not ruled out by then. But if Portland is down Williams, Ayton, and Clingan, Duop Reath might get the start. Reath has played sparingly during the 2024-25 campaign. But he averaged 13.9 points, 5.8 rebounds, and shot 37.4% from deep in 20 starts last season, meaning there could be a streaming opportunity on the horizon.

Portland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III (rest) won't play in Wednesday's rematch with the Timberwolves. Deandre Ayton (finger) wasn't available when these clubs met on Tuesday, resulting in Donovan Clingan sliding into the starting lineup. However, Williams benefited the most from Ayton's absence, finishing with 19 points, nine rebounds, three steals, and three blocks. While Clingan scored only four points on Tuesday, the door is open for more production with Ayton and Williams out of the mix.

Portland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III (hamstring) will play on Monday night against the Pelicans. The big man appeared in only six games for Portland in 2023-24 before suffering a season-ending knee injury in November. Unfortunately, he tweaked his hamstring during training camp and has been working his way back since. Without question, Williams is as talented as it gets, especially on the defensive end. However, he'll likely see limited minutes in his first game back, so fantasy managers should keep him on the bench.

Portland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III (hamstring) is ruled out for Monday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Williams has not played so far this season due to a left hamstring strain. The injury occurred in training camp, and he has been rehabbing since. Coach Chauncey Billups said Sunday, " he is getting back out on the court," though Billups was not sure when Williams will suit up again, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reported.

Portland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III (hamstring) will be unavailable on Wednesday when the team starts its 2024-25 campaign against Golden State. The injury-prone big man is rehabbing a Grade 1 hamstring strain he suffered in training camp. Williams III was initially ruled out for two weeks, but it's taking him longer to get into game shape. Donovan Clingan should get more playing time due to Williams III's absence. However, the seven-foot-three rookie may not be used much on Wednesday against the dynamic Warriors, who don't have a traditional big man in their starting lineup.

Portland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III (hamstring) will miss at least the next two weeks of action. Ugh, Williams was limited to six games last season and now he's injured before the regular season begins. He suffered a Grade 1 hamstring strain, so the team will re-evaluate him in two weeks. His absence should open up more playing time for lottery pick Donovan Clingan. The rookie big man could find himself with a sizable role on this rebuilding roster. Williams won't be an ideal fantasy option even as a late round flier with Deandre Ayton and Clingan both in the mix for minutes at the center spot.

Portland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III (knee) is "very tradable," according to ESPN's Brian Windhorst. Portland has Deandre Ayton, who Windhorst implied isn't in high demand, while drafting UConn's Donovan Clingan during the 2024 NBA Draft. As a result, there's not much room for others. With teams around the National Basketball Association strapped for cash, William's $12.4 million price tag for the 2024-25 campaign makes him an ideal candidate to be moved. Without question, the 26-year-old has plenty of talent, averaging 7.3 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks throughout his career. Unfortunately, his history of bilateral knee surgeries has kept him from reaching his maximum potential. Williams' days as a starter are likely over. However, he has proven to be a reliable fantasy asset, even when coming off the bench.

Portland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III (knee) was originally facing a decision between multiple different knee surgeries, which ranged in recovery time from a couple of months to the whole season. Unfortunately, as reported by Adrian Wojnarowski, Williams will have to undergo season-ending surgery to make sure his knee can hold up for the long run. The 26-year-old previously had knee surgery last year while he was still with the Boston Celtics and came back a couple of months later, but it seems that wasn't enough for his long-term health. Now that he's with the Portland Trail Blazers, he should have plenty of time to recover as they play the tanking game.
