Shawne Williams (foot, leg) won't play in Saturday's game against the Thunder.

Williams is playing 16.0 minutes per game and shooting 26.7 percent from the floor this season. He's a possibility for Sunday's game against the Bobcats.

Shawne Williams (foot, leg) is hoping to return on Saturday.

Wednesday will mark the third consecutive missed game for the backup forward, who is averaging just 3.4 points per game on the season.

Shawne Williams returned to action on Monday January 16.

Shawne Williams (foot, leg) was officially a DNP-CD on Saturday, but presumably was sidelined by his injuries.

Williams has a small fracture in his foot which has caused him to overcompensate and injury his right leg. It's not a situation that will improve any time soon, as far as we can tell, and he should be unowned in all formats.

Shawne Williams has been dealing with a "light fracture" in his left foot for years, which has caused his right leg to overcompensate.

Williams left Friday's game with shin splints in his right leg. He said he will probably need surgery after the season to fix the original fracture in his foot, which makes it sound as though he'll be dealing with the issue all year. He has yet to make a serious dent in the rotation despite the absence of Damion James.

Shawne Williams left Friday's game due to a leg injury and is questionable to return.

Williams played just five minutes but could be an interesting fantasy play down the road if the Nets suffer injuries. There should be plenty of garbage-ball in their future, which sets up nicely for a 3-point shooter like Williams.

Shawne Williams (flu) will play on Monday, as expected, but coach Avery Johnson said he's not ready for "significant minutes."

Williams signed with the Nets over the Knicks in part because he could get more minutes with New Jersey, and he could overtake Damion James for the starting SF job at some point (if the Nets don't sign Andrei Kirilenko). In 21 minutes per game with New York last year, he averaged 7.1 points, 1.3 threes, 3.7 rebounds, 0.6 steals and 0.8 blocks.

Shawne Williams (flu) is practicing on Friday.

Williams was sidelined for almost a week with the flu, but he's good to go now and is back out on the court.

Shawne Williams (flu) is expected to be held out of practice for the next two days.

Williams is battling flu-like symptoms and will be held out until he's feeling better considering the season is less than a week away. He should be good to go by the end of the week.

Shawne Williams will not play on Saturday due to the flu.

It would have been nice to see him in action, and get a better feel for his role with the Nets, but this isn't a concern.

Shawne Williams has officially signed with the Nets for $6.1 million over two years.

He should have a back up role with the Nets, but could also make Travis Outlaw expendable. Either way, Williams will hit plenty of threes this season.

Shawne Williams has agreed to sign with the Nets.

Williams turned down the Knicks after the team seemed ready to replace him with Jamal Crwaford. He will have a great opportunity to contribute in New Jersey given the shallow depth on the team, and he is certainly capable of accruing more fantasy value playing for the Nets than he held with the Knicks.

Free agent G/F Shawne Williams has narrowed his choices to the Knicks and Nets.

Williams is unlikely to start the season with any fantasy value, but if injuries strike he could prove to be a sneaky source of threes.

Shawne Williams is deciding between offers from the Knicks, Nets and Heat.

The Knicks and Nets were both known to be in pursuit, but this is the first we've heard about an actual offer from the Heat since the team was said to be "strongly considering" him about two of weeks ago. He should make a decision on where he'll sign this week.

Shawne Williams is still weighing a one-year offer to stay with the Knicks, but it sounds like the Nets and possibly one other team are offering longer deals.

Williams is not a lock to be in the league next season, so taking a longer deal would be wise. But he also wants to stay with the Knicks. Stay tuned.

The Nets and Knicks are reportedly competing to sign forward Shawne Williams.

Williams has said a few times that he wants to return with the Knicks, but New York isn't willing to give him more than a one-year deal at the moment.

The Heat, Nets and Bulls are "strongly considering" free agent Shawne Williams.

Coming off of a solid season with the Knicks, Williams will have a longer list of suitors than some might have imagined. He's said that he'd like to return to New York and the team has expressed interest in re-signing him. However, there's always a chance he could suit up elsewhere if he finds a better deal than the one the Knicks can offer.

According to beat writer Alan Hahn, there's "mutual interest" between the Knicks and Shawne Williams on working out a new deal.

Williams has reiterated his preference to remain with the Knicks on a couple of different occasions, and it sounds like the desire for a reunion is mutual. Williams played a nice role off the bench for the team last season and if re-signed will slide back into it for at least 2011-12. He shot above 40 percent from beyond the arc last season, but his playing time might be too inconsistent to sustain fantasy value.

Shawne Williams recently reiterated his desire to sign with the Knicks for the upcoming season.

Williams talks as though he's already under contract ("I feel like we already know we're going to make the playoffs") so presumably he has some assurances that the Knicks want to re-sign him. In 64 games last season he averaged 7.1 points, 3.7 rebounds, 0.6 steals, and 0.8 blocks in 21 minutes per game. He also shot 40.1% from downtown, a huge plus on a Mike D'Antoni-coached team.

Shawne Williams hopes to re-sign with the Knicks as a free agent this summer.

Williams' career has been revitalized in New York, where he's averaging 7.1 points and 3.7 rebounds, while shooting an 40.1% from downtown. He was recently praised by team president Donnie Walsh, who said that Williams "has played with a certain toughness you need to have."
