Ziaire Williams Ruled Out With Foot Injury After Defending Flopping Techs

Los Angeles Lakers forward Ziaire Williams has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Clippers due to a foot injury. The absence comes on the heels of a $2,000 flopping fine and a controversial technical foul against Portland where he took a forearm to the sternum. Despite the frustration, Williams is off to a strong start, averaging 11.3 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 1.5 steals over four games while shooting 69.2% on 2-pointers and 46.7% from beyond the arc.
