Williams (ankle) is considered probable for Monday's game against the Pelicans, Josh Lewenberg of TSN Sports reports.
Williams is dealing with a sprained left ankle but apparently is nearing a return. If he returns to the court Monday, he will likely relinquish Greivis Vasquez of some playing time off the bench.
Sat Feb 21 201519:06Louis Williams: (Ankle) Won't Play Saturday
Williams (ankle) won't play in Saturday's game at Houston.
Williams logged 24 minutes Friday but emerged from the contest with a left ankle sprain, which will keep him on the pine Saturday. While he should be considered highly questionable for Monday's game in New Orleans, Greivis Vasquez appears to be the clear beneficiary of Williams' absence.
Sat Feb 21 201517:49Louis Williams: (Ankle) Doubtful For Saturday
Williams is dealing with a sprained left ankle and is considered doubtful for Saturday's game against the Rockets.
Williams should be considered day-to-day moving forward as it doesn't appear that he'll be able to take the court Saturday. In his potential absence, Greivis Vasquez will likely see added time on the court off the bench.

Williams scored a game-high 26 points (9-14 FG, 7-10 3Pt, 1-2 FT) with four rebounds, four steals, two assists and a block in 24 minutes off the bench Friday.
His bench role and streaky shooting mean that Williams isn't always the most reliable of fantasy contributors, but when he's locked in the veteran guard can provide a lot of value for owners looking for threes and steals.
Thu Feb 12 201511:41Williams scored team-high 27 points (8-16 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 7-7 FT) w...
Williams scored a team-high 27 points (8-16 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 7-7 FT) with four rebounds and two steals in 34 minutes off the bench Wednesday.
It was a huge bounce-back night for Williams after he failed to score a point on Sunday. The Raptors' sixth man heads into the All-Star break averaging a career high 15.2 points per game.

Williams failed to score a point, missing all five of his field goal attempts, in 15 minutes off the bench Sunday.
He just couldn't make anything happen against the Spurs' defense, as the disciplined world champs refused to bail him out with the fouls Williams typically draws. The Raptors' sixth man has scored in double digits in 17 of 20 games in 2015, so look for him to bounce back on Wednesday against the Wizards.
Sat Jan 31 201523:25Williams scored 19 points (8-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT) with five a...
Williams scored 19 points (8-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT) with five assists and three steals in 29 minutes in the overtime win against the Wizards on Saturday.
Williams has been on a nice scoring run. He has averaged 23.7 points and has hit nine 3-pointers in his last three games. He is providing a real spark for the Raptors off the bench and can score in a variety of ways.
Fri Jan 30 201522:39Williams scored 25 points (6-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 10-11 FT) with four...
Williams scored 25 points (6-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 10-11 FT) with four rebounds and three assists in 29 minutes off the bench Friday.
That's back-to-back games with 25+ points for the Raptors' sixth man, and Williams is now averaging a career-high 15.4 points per game on the season.
Wed Jan 28 201522:50Williams scored 27 points (7-16 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 9-9 FT) with three...
Williams scored 27 points (7-16 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 9-9 FT) with three steals, two rebounds and two assists in 26 minutes off the bench Wednesday.
He's now scored in double digits in seven straight games, averaging 16.7 points, 2.4 steals and 1.6 threes over that stretch. Williams' fantasy value isn't consistent on a nightly basis given his role on the Raptors' second unit, but in rotisserie leagues he's become a surprisingly useful asset for owners who need those threes and steals.
Wed Jan 21 201522:58Williams scored 21 points (6-15 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 7-7 FT) with three ...
Williams scored 21 points (6-15 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 7-7 FT) with three rebounds and two assists in 24 minutes off the bench Wednesday.
He continues to provide the Raptors with a huge spark as part of their second unit, although it wasn't enough to get a win for the club on Wednesday. If you need threes and steals, Williams can be a useful asset in deeper leagues.
Tue Jan 20 201511:11Williams scored 15 points (4-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT) with four s...
Williams scored 15 points (4-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT) with four steals, two rebounds and two assists in 28 minutes off the bench Monday.
He's now scored in double digits in eight of his last nine games, averaging 15.8 points, 2.6 assists, 1.6 threes and 1.1 steals over that stretch. Williams has been one of the best sixth men in the league this season for Toronto, and that doesn't figure to change any time soon.
Wed Jan 14 201522:45Williams scored 19 points (6-12 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT) with two as...
Williams scored 19 points (6-12 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT) with two assists and a steal in 24 minutes off the bench Wednesday.
Even with DeMar DeRozan back in the lineup, Sweet Lou didn't see a big change in his role as the Raptors' designated sniper off the bench. Expect Williams to continue putting up a good scoring average, with the occasional steal and three, going forward.
Thu Jan 8 201522:38Williams scored 15 points (4-15 FG, 0-7 3Pt, 7-8 FT) with five a...
Williams scored 15 points (4-15 FG, 0-7 3Pt, 7-8 FT) with five assists and four rebounds in 28 minutes off the bench Thursday.
He couldn't buy a three-pointer in this one, but Williams was still able to get to the free throw line and put up a decent point total. DeMar DeRozan is expected to return from his groin injury next week, which should cut into Williams' minutes a little, but he'll still be the Raptors' primary weapon off the bench.
Mon Dec 29 201400:55Williams had huge game of bench on Sunday to help team get win
Williams had a huge game of the bench on Sunday to help his team get a win. He finished with 31 points (11-18 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 5-9 FT), five rebounds, two assists, and a steal in 34 minutes.
Williams is coming off of a pair of underwhelming games, but he was feeling himself tonight to produce one of his bigger games this season. With DeMar Derozan missing time Toronto will need other players to step up in his absence. Williams will get all the minutes he can handle, and while his shot won't always hit like tonight, he is still producing solid value for a waiver grab in most leagues.

Williams scored 22 points (6-14 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 6-6 FT) in 26 minutes in the win over the Knicks on Sunday.
Williams was likely licking his chops against the defensively challenged Knicks. He has averaged 16.0 points in his last five games, but doesn't offer much for fantasy owners beyond points, 3-pointers, and free throw percentage.
Mon Dec 15 201422:44Williams scored 18 points (6-14 FG, 1-5 3P, 5-7 FT) with three r...
Williams scored 18 points (6-14 FG, 1-5 3P, 5-7 FT) with three rebounds, two assists and a steal in 28 minutes off the bench Monday.
With the Raptors' starters flagging on the second night of a back-to-back, Williams and the second unit carries the club to victory. He's now scored at least 15 points in three straight games, and may be about to go on another tear.
Fri Dec 12 201423:15Williams scored 26 points (9-18 FG, 5-7 3P, 3-3 FT) with four re...
Williams scored 26 points (9-18 FG, 5-7 3P, 3-3 FT) with four rebounds and three assists in 30 minutes off the bench Friday.
He's been running hot and cold in December, alternating single digit efforts with 17, 26 and 26 point nights, but Williams has still become an indispensable part of the bench in his first season in Toronto. In deep leagues, his ability to rain threes when he's locked in is his primary source of fantasy value, but the combo guard is also averaging a useful 1.2 steals a game.
Mon Dec 8 201423:49Williams scored 26 points (7-16 FG, 3-10 3P, 9-10 FT) with three...
Williams scored 26 points (7-16 FG, 3-10 3P, 9-10 FT) with three rebounds in 28 minutes off the bench Monday.
He's not quite as red hot as he was at the end of November, but Williams is still capable of going off at a moment's notice. His lack of production in other categories makes him tough to roster in shallower leagues, however.
Thu Dec 4 201400:28Williams scored 17 points (5-9 FG, 1-2 3P, 6-6 FT) with five reb...
Williams scored 17 points (5-9 FG, 1-2 3P, 6-6 FT) with five rebounds, two assists and two steals in 26 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's win over the Jazz.
His hot streak has faded, but Williams is still averaging 14 points a night over his last four games and will be relied upon as the Raptors' main source of second unit offense with Greivis Vasquez subbing for the injured DeMar DeRozan in the starting lineup.
