Vince Williams Jr. Fantasy Stats

Memphis Grizzlies shooting guard Vince Williams Jr. (heel) will miss Friday's matchup with the Heat as he continues to recover. Williams also missed the team's opening day 128-122 win over the Pelicans. The former second-round pick averaged 6.6 points and 3.6 rebounds in just 18.5 minutes per game last season. Williams will likely operate this season as a glue-guy off the bench who is capable of chipping in rebounds and assists despite shooting just 40.1% from the field last season. Williams can be left on waivers throughout the early portion of the season, until we see if his role grows throughout the season.

Grizzlies Injury Woes Continue, Without Vince Williams Jr. Friday

Memphis Grizzlies forward Vince Williams Jr. (ankle) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Williams appears ready to get back in action following a one-game absence due to a right ankle issue. Williams has been fairly quiet recently with three straight games of seven points or less. The 24-year-old doesn't exactly have a big role in the rotation, but possibly he sees more minutes with Santi Aldama (calf) doubtful for this contest. Regardless, Williams is a fairly risky streaming option for Monday's slate.

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Vince Williams Jr. (knee) will not suit up for Friday's game against the Orlando Magic, having been downgraded from questionable to out. Williams Jr. lands on the shelf following a 20-minute outing on Thursday against the Indiana Pacers. He is managing left knee soreness. Williams Jr.'s exit from the lineup creates additional playing opportunities for GG Jackson II and Luke Kennard. On Thursday night, neither player impressed, as they combined for 5-for-12 shooting.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Vince Williams Jr. (knee) has received a questionable status for Friday's matchup with the Orlando Magic. The 24-year-old has struggled mightily with injuries all season but has played in four of the team's last five games. He did, however, sit out of one half of their last back-to-back, so it wouldn't be surprising if they held him out of Friday's game after they played Thursday against the Indiana Pacers. Santi Aldama, GG Jackson II, and Luke Kennard will likely receive some more minutes off of the bench if Williams doesn't suit up. The former is still one of the best fantasy options in deep leagues, and he dropped 10 points, seven rebounds, three assists, one steal, and one block in an off night against the Pacers.

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Vince Williams Jr. (knee) will be active on Thursday against the Indiana Pacers. Before the All-Star break, Memphis played out a back-to-back set, and Williams Jr. did not play in the second leg. It has been a tough season for Williams Jr., who has made only six appearances due to health issues. He has averaged 5.7 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 2.2 assists in 14.8 minutes. Williams Jr.'s role should grow over the final couple of months of the season if he can stay clear of injuries.

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Vince Williams Jr. (knee) will be inactive against the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday. The team has ruled him out for the contest after initially listing Williams Jr. as questionable. Williams Jr. has only recently returned from a lengthy absence, and it was unlikely that Memphis would have him play both games in a back-to-back situation. GG Jackson II may be more involved in the action on Wednesday with Williams Jr. out. Jackson II struggled on Tuesday against the Phoenix Suns but has offered low-tier fantasy value lately, averaging 12.6 points and 3.8 rebounds this month.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Vince Williams Jr. (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's meeting with the Los Angeles Clippers due to soreness in his left knee. For the Grizzlies, Wednesday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set. Williams played during the first leg, posting seven points, nine rebounds, and one assist across 17 minutes, beating the Suns 119-112 on Tuesday. Ja Morant (knee) is also questionable for the contest this evening, so the Grizzlies might give the two players a longer rest during the upcoming All-Star break. If Williams is out of action, GG Jackson will see an uptick in minutes on the floor on Wednesday.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Vince Williams Jr. (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's meeting with the Toronto Raptors. The 24-year-old Williams Jr. has been sidelined since the middle of November as he's been dealing with a Grade 3 right ankle sprain. Williams Jr. has played in three games this season and has missed 47 games due to injury. In those three games, Williams Jr. has averaged 5.3 points and 3.7 rebounds over 15.0 minutes per contest. Assuming he's out for Wednesday, Williams' next chance to play will arrive on Saturday against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Vince Williams Jr. (ankle) has only managed to play in three games this season as the injuries continue to pile up on him. Williams suffered a Grade 3 right ankle sprain during Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. As a result, Williams will be shut down for four weeks and will be re-evaluated after that. The Grizzlies are likely going to use a committee approach to fill the void left by Williams. Jake LaRavia, John Konchar, and Luke Kennard should all see increased roles going forward. Out of the trio, LaRavia is the best fantasy option out of the bunch. He's worth a look as a streaming option with the Grizzlies shorthanded right now.
