Jazz's Cody Williams: Dealing with illness
Rotowire
Williams is questionable for Monday's game against the Hornets due to illness.
The Jazz are already very shorthanded for Monday, so this isn't ideal for the team. In terms of fantasy, Williams hasn't been very effective despite starting nine straight games, averaging 4.0 points, 1.7 rebounds and 0.9 assists on 25 percent shooting during that stretch.

Rotowire
Williams racked up four points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist in 20 minutes during Thursday's 121-110 loss to the Rockets.

Jazz's Cody Williams: Makes defensive impact off bench
Rotowire
Williams registered five points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt), six rebounds, one block and one steal across 27 minutes during Wednesday's 122-115 loss to Memphis.
Williams recorded at least one steal and one block for just the fourth time this season. The rookie forward has also been scorching the nets from beyond the arc as of late, converting 44.4 percent of his 2.7 three-point attempts per contest over the past 10.
Williams posted eight points (4-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt), eight rebounds, five assists and one steal in 27 minutes during Monday's 114-112 loss to the Trail Blazers.
The Jazz were without five key players Monday with various day-to-day injuries, allowing Williams to get some much-needed reps. With Utah likely to prioritize player development going forward, Williams will be a name to monitor in deeper formats. He's had a tough season overall, however, shooting 32.2 percent from the field and 23.6 percent from beyond the arc.
Williams (ankle) tallied two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist across 15 minutes in Saturday's 130-110 loss to the Clippers.
Williams was back in action after missing the Jazz's last nine games due to a left ankle sprain. He took back a spot in Utah's 10-man rotation Saturday, but minutes could be more difficult to come by for Williams once the likes of Lauri Markkanen (back), John Collins (rest), Walker Kessler (shoulder) and Collin Sexton (ankle) return to action after all were sidelined against the Clippers.

Jazz's Cody Williams: Could return Saturday
Rotowire
Williams (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Clippers.
A left ankle sprain has prevented Williams from playing since Jan. 20. He would stand to see plenty of opportunities if cleared to play Saturday due to the absences of John Collins (rest), Lauri Markkanen (back) and Walker Kessler (shoulder). Williams averaged 4.9 points, 1.9 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 0.9 steals over 25.6 minutes per game in his seven outings prior to his ankle injury.

Rotowire
Williams (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Suns.
Williams will have a chance to make his first appearance Friday since Jan. 20 due to a sprained left ankle.

Jazz's Cody Williams: Out at least one more week
Rotowire
The Jazz announced Wednesday that Williams (ankle) will re-evaluated in one week, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.
Williams has missed the past four games with a left ankle sprain, and his one-week re-evaluation date rules him out for at least four more contests. Given that he hasn't played since Jan. 20, Williams could require a brief ramp-up period, even if he's cleared to resume on-court work once he's re-evaluated. The Jazz have made an effort to find minutes for the rookie first-round pick when he's been available this season, but he's struggled mightily with efficiency, shooting just 30 percent from the field and 23.8 percent from three-point range over 26 games.
