In his last start this season, Williams contributed 12 points, five rebounds, two assists, and three three-pointers over 25 minutes. The 25-year-old forward, who signed a three-year, $6.65 million contract with the Grizzlies in January 2024, is averaging 8.0 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 2.7 assists this season.
