Vince Williams Jr. "A Couple Of Weeks Away" From Playing
Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Vince Williams Jr. (shin) has been ruled out for the start of the season. According to Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins, Williams Jr. is "a couple of weeks away" from being ready to play. The 24-year-old is recovering from a shin stress reaction. Once he's healthy again, Williams Jr. will be leading the second unit. He did most of his damage as a starter last year, so Williams Jr.'s fantasy stock will be lower in 2024-25 unless Memphis starts losing its key guys to injuries again. Jake LaRavia and John Konchar should handle Williams Jr.'s minutes until he's ready to return. Neither player is a good fantasy option.
Vince Williams Jr. Remains Sidelined For Sunday Versus Denver
Memphis Grizzlies guard Vince Williams Jr. (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's regular-season finale with the Nuggets.

Williams is likely part of the team's future, so they're not going to risk him injuring his knee any further. In the meantime, Scotty Pippen Jr., Jordan Goodwin, and Lamar Stevens have all been solid streaming options. Each one of them can garner some DFS interest as well given the better matchup.
Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Vince Williams Jr. (knee) will be absent for an 11th consecutive game on Monday against the Pistons. He's continuing to nurse a left knee injury. The 23-year-old out of VCU will get his next opportunity to return on Wednesday versus Milwaukee. Memphis also won't have Desmond Bane (back) on Monday, and John Konchar (foot) will likely miss another game, meaning we should see a lot of Scotty Pippen Jr., Jordan Goodwin, GG Jackson II, and Jake LaRavia again. The young Grizzlies have played well in recent weeks, although they tend to be inconsistent.

The 23-year-old is still dealing with a left knee issue and will have the next opportunity to return on Monday against Detroit.

Vince Williams Jr. Misses Another Game On Wednesday
Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Vince Williams Jr. (knee) will be out for a ninth consecutive game on Wednesday versus the Lakers. He remains on the shelf with a left patellar problem, with the team downgrading him from doubtful to out.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Vince Williams Jr. (knee) is officially out on Monday versus the Nuggets. He's still dealing with tendonitis in his left patellar tendon. The 24-year-old has played 52 contests this season, averaging 10.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 3.4 assists. The Grizzlies lineup has been hampered with injuries this season.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Vince Williams Jr. (knee) is expected to miss his seventh consecutive game on Friday while still suffering from tendonitis in his left patellar tendon. The Grizzlies roster is still suffering from tons of injuries at the moment with Luke Kennard (personal) and Lamar Stevens (adductor) already ruled out while Desmond Bane (back) is considered doubtful like Williams. John Konchar (heel) and Scottie Pippen Jr. (shin) are questionable at the moment, so streaming options could become slim. Right now, GG Jackson II, Jake LaRavia, and Trey Jemison are looking like the most likely streaming options that will be available.
Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Vince Williams Jr. (knee) cannot play against the Warriors on Wednesday. He continues to deal with a left patellar issue that will keep him sidelined for the sixth straight game. There is no timetable for when he will return. For now, GG Jackson could see plenty of minutes while John Konchar and Jake LaRavia could see more action. Before getting hurt, the 23-year-old played well and was one of the critical players on the team's offense. Desmond Bane's return will take away shots from Williams Jr. once he is healthy.
Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Vince Williams Jr. (knee) is considered doubtful to play against Sacramento on Monday. He continues to deal with a left patellar issue that has kept him sidelined for four games. Before getting hurt, the 23-year-old was riding great momentum as one of the focal points of the team's offense. Desmond Bane's return to action will take away shots from Williams Jr. once he's eventually ready to return to the court. It looks like it won't be the case on Monday, which gives GG Jackson II and Jake LaRavia further opportunities to impress. Monday's matchup is a great one for the pair against a run-and-gun team that doesn't defend well.
