Tue Apr 1509:55Robert Williams III Expects To Be Ready For Training Camp
Portland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III (knee) experienced another season plagued by health issues in 2024-25, but he hopes to be "injury-free" next season. Williams III made only 20 appearances before undergoing an arthroscopic procedure to address inflammation in his left knee, which ended his season in March. He fully expects to be ready by training camp. A healthy Williams III can be a valuable asset for fantasy managers. The 27-year-old has averaged 7.2 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks in 20.2 minutes throughout his career.

Tue Mar 2515:21Robert Williams III Out For Remainder Of Season
Portland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III (knee) is out for the remainder of the 2024-25 season with a knee injury. Williams has missed 11 of the team's last 12 games with left knee soreness. He was last available when the Blazers lost to the New York Knicks on March 12 but did not play. Williams has played 20 games this season, averaging 5.8 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 1.1 assists per game with his field goal percentage being 64.1%. When he plays, Williams flashes his talent, but he hasn't been able to stay consistently healthy.

Thu Mar 2018:43Robert Williams III Undergoes Another Knee Surgery
Portland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III (knee) underwent surgery on his left knee on Thursday to address inflammation. He's "expected to make a full recovery" and will be sidelined 4-6 weeks. Without question, the 27-year-old is a difference-maker whenever he's on the floor, especially on the glass and defensive end. However, Williams has battled multiple knee injuries over the years. It's unknown if he'll remain in Portland. Yet, if Williams lands on the trade block, he will see plenty of interest from teams around the league looking for depth in the middle. With that said, he should have some productive fantasy outings moving ahead, although he'll need to figure out how to stay on the floor before earning the trust of fantasy managers.

Wed Mar 1920:20Robert Williams III Out On Wednesday
Portland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III (knee) will be inactive on Wednesday against the Memphis Grizzlies. The veteran big man has been out for nearly a month, making his last appearance on Feb. 20. It has been another frustrating campaign for the injury-prone center, as Williams III has featured just 20 times for the Trail Blazers in 2024-25. Duop Reath carries additional fantasy value in Williams III's absence, though he is not a difference-maker in fantasy basketball with Portland's starting center, Donovan Clingan, fully healthy.

The 27-year-old has only played in 20 games this season, and a timetable hasn't been announced when he will return. With less than a month left in the regular season, the big man could very well be shut down for the final 14 Blazers games remaining.

Sun Feb 2319:45Robert Williams III Out Against Jazz
Portland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III (knee) will not play on Monday against the Utah Jazz. He has been ruled out for a second consecutive game due to left knee soreness. With Deandre Ayton (calf) also still on the mend, Donovan Clingan and Jabari Walker will fill the minutes at the center position. The latter impressed with 20 points and 14 rebounds in Saturday's blowout win against the Charlotte Hornets. Clingan has had a couple of quiet showings but is averaging 7.6 points, 10.0 rebounds, and 2.8 blocks in a starting role.

Thu Feb 2021:22Robert Williams III Available On Thursday
Portland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III (knee) is active ahead of Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Williams missed the final two games before the All-Star break as he continues to manage a lingering knee issue. He's back in action on Thursday after missing seven of the last nine games. Williams is likely going to be asked to play a bigger role in the rotation going forward with Deandre Ayton (calf) being sidelined right now. Donovan Clingan should start which means Williams will get the backup minutes behind him. It probably won't be enough playing time to warrant starting Williams in most fantasy formats.

Portland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The Blazers are going to take the cautious approach and hold out Williams for the final two games before the All-Star break. His absence is going to leave the Blazers shorthanded with Deandre Ayton (calf) also sidelined. That means, Donovan Clingan figures to play a big role in the rotation. The rookie big man is looking like a strong streaming option after a 21-point outing on Monday.

Mon Feb 1020:13Robert Williams III Out On Monday
Portland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Williams III was initially listed as questionable on the injury report after he hurt his right knee on Saturday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Donovan Clingan is expected to see an increase in playing time with Williams III unavailable. However, he probably won't have a significant impact in fantasy basketball, as starting center Deandre Ayton is healthy and ready to take on his usual workload.

Tue Feb 420:37Robert Williams III To Play On Tuesday
Portland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III will suit up for Tuesday's game, according to head coach Chauncey Billups. Williams was healthy for Monday's game, but didn't play which marked his fourth absence in a row. Now, Williams is expected to take over Donovan Clingan's role as the backup center to Deandre Ayton. That doesn't mean much considering Clingan hasn't played more than 11 minutes in four straight games. There really is no incentive for fantasy managers to roster Williams right now. He's struggling to find playing time and Clingan is likely to see an increased role down the stretch of the season. The best path for Williams to find more playing time would be getting traded ahead of Thursday's deadline.

Mon Feb 318:36Robert Williams III Listed As Questionable For Monday
Portland Trail Blazers centerRobert Williams III(hand) is questionable for Monday's contest against the Phoenix Suns. Williams is in danger of missing a fourth straight game due to a right-hand injury. He's played in only 17 games this season. The Blazers are likely playing it on the safe side to use him as a trade piece at some point. Toumani Camara will continue to see an expanded role with Williams sidelined. The big man could be seen as a strong fantasy option this evening as he finished with 18 points, 10 rebounds and four steals across 36 minutes during a 127-108 win over the Suns on Saturday in his last outing.

Fri Jan 2416:32Robert Williams III Ruled Out Against Hornets
Portland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III (hand) has been ruled out of Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets with a sore hand. He seemingly has some sort of quota where he plays a few games every couple of weeks, and then reverts back to the bench. The Blazers are likely playing it on the safe side to use him as a trade piece at some point, but that frees up some more playing time for Donovan Clingan (ankle), Toumani Camara (illness), Jabari Walker, and Duop Reath. Clingan would fit the best for streaming big man stats while Camara seems to be a solid asset with or without Williams in the lineup. Clingan has posted at least 10 boards and one block in each of his last three games.

Tue Jan 2118:50Robert Williams III Cleared To Play Tuesday
Portland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III (ankle) will return to the lineup on Tuesday against Miami. He has been upgraded from questionable to available. Williams III is in the midst of another injury-hit campaign and most recently sustained a left ankle injury that kept him sidelined for one game. The former Celtic will fill backup minutes behind Deandre Ayton at the center position. He will likely not have a major impact in the game, as Williams III has been limited to 6.2 points and 5.1 rebounds this season.

Mon Jan 2019:32Robert Williams III Uncertain For Tuesday
Portland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Miami Heat. Williams was forced to sit out of Sunday's game due to left ankle soreness. It's worth noting that Sunday was the second game of a back-to-back set. Possibly, Williams was held out for rest purposes more than the ankle being a legitimate issue. Jabari Walker figures to see the primary backup center minutes behind Deandre Ayton if Williams sits out. It's unlikely to be enough playing time to warrant streaming Walker in fantasy formats.

Sun Jan 1920:15Robert Williams III Ruled Out Versus Chicago
Portland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III (ankle) won't play on Sunday against the Bulls. Deandre Ayton (back) didn't suit up for Saturday's loss to the Rockets. As a result, Williams got the start and finished with four points, four rebounds, three blocks, and one steal. But with Ayton back in the equation, Williams wouldn't have started. However, with Williams and Donovan Clingan (ankle) both out, Jabari Walker, amassing 10 points, five rebounds, and one steal versus the Rockets, could remain involved.

Thu Jan 1620:34Robert Williams III Upgraded To Available On Thursday
Portland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III (illness) has been upgraded to available ahead of Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. This is a bit of a surprise considering Williams was originally considered doubtful to suit up. Now, Williams will be back in the mix after missing each of the last three games due to an illness. Williams figures to serve as the primary backup to Deandre Ayton. That being said, Williams is likely only going to see minutes in the teens which isn't going to make him a viable fantasy option.

Thu Jan 1615:58Robert Williams III Questionable Thursday Night
Portland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III (illness) was originally listed as doubtful, but he has now been upgraded to questionable for Thursday night's matchup against the Clippers. Williams has missed three straight games due to illness, and even before that, he had been crowded out of the Blazers' rotation with Deandre Ayton and Donovan Clingan available. Now that Clingan (ankle) has been ruled out for at least a week, though, there should be backup minutes available for Time Lord when he's ready to return. If Williams needs another day to recover, his next chance to play would be Saturday against the Rockets, and Duop Reath would likely serve as Ayton's primary backup against the Clippers.

Tue Jan 1409:11Robert Williams III Questionable For Tuesday
Portland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III (illness) faces a third consecutive absence on Tuesday against Brooklyn. After sitting out one game for rest purposes, Williams III caught an illness bug, which forced him out of the lineup on Saturday against Miami. The 27-year-old has provided backup for starting center Deandre Ayton, along with rookie Donovan Clingan, limiting his fantasy value. Due to the lack of playing time, Williams III has averaged only 6.6 points and 5.0 rebounds across 12 appearances in 2024-25.

Williams III's absence might give us a Duop Reath sighting on Friday, as Portland also won't have the services of Deandre Ayton (calf). Rookie Donovan Clingan will get the nod as the starter at center.
