Williams (ankle) is considered questionable to play Wednesday against the Bucks, Jason Jones of the Sacramento Bee reports.
Williams missed Tuesday's game with a sprained right ankle, and he's essentially a game-time call for Wednesday's matchup. He'll test out the ankle in warmups, after which a final call will be made. If Williams is held out, Carl Landry and Reggie Evans should pick up a few extra minutes. On Tuesday, Landry scored six points and grabbed seven rebounds in 24 minutes, while Evans had three points and six boards in 15 minutes.

Williams is dealing with an ankle injury and will not play in Tuesday's game, News 10's Sean Cunningham reports.
This news came out after the game started, so his owners in daily leagues were out of luck. Consider Williams questionable for Wednesday's game in Milwaukee.

Williams moved to the bench against the Mavericks on Thursday but was able to spend 19 minutes on the court as he registered seven points, one rebound, and one assist.
Fellow power forward Jason Thompson got the starting nod over Williams on Friday, although Williams spent one more minute on the court than Thompson against the Mavericks. It's unclear if coach Ty Corbin will stick with this lineup moving forward as he tries to figure out where to utilize Williams' average of 17.1 minutes per game this season.
Thu Feb 5 201521:15Williams will come off bench Thursday versus Mavericks
Williams will come off the bench Thursday versus the Mavericks, the Cowbell Kingdom reports.
Williams entered the starting lineup Tuesday but mustered only two points and three rebounds in 21 minutes. He'll be replaced by typical first-team power forward Jason Thompson.
Tue Feb 3 201522:07Williams will get start at power forward Tuesday
Williams will get the start at power forward Tuesday, the Sacramento Bee's Jason Jones reports.
Williams has only played 20-plus minutes in one of his last four games, and has a couple healthy scratches mixed in, so it's hard to trust him to get big minutes Tuesday. Jason Thompson will come off the bench, but this change was likely based on matching up better with Golden State, and Williams could soon go back to a reserve role.

Williams started against the Warriors on Friday and was able to record nine points, five rebounds, and two assists during his 22 minutes on the hardwood.
It's still unclear whether or not Williams will remain in the starting lineup, although he saw just as many minutes as a starter Friday than he has when coming off the bench this season. As a result, it doesn't seem to matter where Williams starts the game because his value is remaining consistently in the zone of deeper leagues.

Williams will replace Jason Thompson in the starting lineup for Friday's tilt with the Warriors.
Williams and Thompson have typically seen relatively similar minutes totals over the last handful of games as it is, so the lineup change may not necessarily have much of an impact on either player. Of the two big men, Williams would seem to be the more viable fantasy play in deeper formats at this juncture, as he's produced double-digit points in three of his last five games to Thompson's one, and is more of a threat from three-point land.

Williams got the start Friday with Rudy Gay out, and scored 10 points (5-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt), grabbed six rebounds and had a steal in 33 minutes.
Williams actually had a better game Tuesday when he came off the bench, and Gay shouldn't be out for much longer. This was Williams' second start this season. Coming off the bench, he's averaging 6.6 points and 2.5 rebounds this season. Unless he's starting and is a daily league option, Williams shouldn't be looked at in most leagues.
Wed Jan 14 201501:41Williams had double-double off bench Tuesday with 12 points (5-1...
Williams had a double-double off the bench Tuesday with 12 points (5-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT) and 10 rebounds.
Williams saw a boost in playing time mostly thanks to Rudy Gay having to leave the game with a sprained knee. He logged 36 minutes on the floor Tuesday, far above his season average of 15.8. If Gay misses time, Williams could be worth adding in deeper formats.

Williams scored 12 points (5-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), to go along with two rebounds, and one assist in 23 minutes on Sunday.
Williams returned to the bench to play more of a role fantasy owners have been accustomed to seeing out of him in the past. He's a guy that can get hot at any moment, but he's more likely to have average games like tonight than stuffing the stat-sheet like on Thursday.
Thu Jan 1 201523:17Williams scored 17 points (6-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT) Thursday ag...
Williams scored 17 points (6-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT) Thursday against the Timberwolves in 31 minutes, finishing the game with five rebounds, three assists, a block and two steals.
Williams has received wildly inconsistent minutes with the Kings this season, so he's not a reliable fantasy option. However, when he gets significant minutes, he can be effective. This was his first start of the season, so owners will want to monitor his playing time going forward.
Thu Jan 1 201520:03Williams will start Thursday against Timberwolves
Williams will start Thursday against the Timberwolves, the Sacramento Bee reports.
Williams scored just two points on 1-of-5 shooting with two rebounds in 16 minutes Wednesday, but he'll make his first start of the season Thursday with Ryan Hollins moving to the bench. Carl Landry, who played 26 minutes against Boston, figures to see significant run yet again.
Fri Dec 12 201401:49Williams appeared in season-high 34 minutes in overtime loss to ...
Williams appeared in a season-high 34 minutes in an overtime loss to the Rockets on Thursday, scoring 17 points (5-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT).
Given Williams's past problems with consistency, owners shouldn't be too excited and search for him immediately on the waiver wire. Reggie Evans is still the Kings' starter at power forward, but the strong night for Williams was nice to see, considering he came in to the game averaging just 5.5 points per game. In addition to his strong scoring night, Williams also had five rebounds and an assist.
Sat Dec 6 201416:16Williams only played one minute on Friday against Pacers
Williams only played one minute on Friday against the Pacers.
After contributing 18 points and four rebounds against the Raptors on Tuesday, Williams received one minute on Friday against the Pacers. His role has been up and down lately and he cannot be relied upon for any consistent fantasy output.
Wed Dec 3 201400:45Williams scored 18 points (8-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-3 FT), with four ...
Williams scored 18 points (8-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-3 FT), with four rebounds in 14 minutes during Tuesday's loss to the Raptors.
Williams had been very quiet before this game, and while he didn't get many minutes, he got plenty of shots up when he got into the game. This is just a blip on the radar, as you can't expect this from Williams on a consistent basis.
Sun Nov 23 201417:31Williams scored 12 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and grabbed ...
Williams scored 12 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and grabbed six rebounds in 30 minutes Saturday.
Williams' 30 minutes are a season-high, breaking the mark he set when he got 22 last game. It appears the Kings are willing to give Williams some playing time recently, and he might be worth a stash if you have room on your bench, to see if he will continue to earn significant minutes.
Fri Nov 21 201401:48Williams posted line of 10 points (4-9 FG, 2-4 FT), two rebounds...
Williams posted a line of 10 points (4-9 FG, 2-4 FT), two rebounds, and two assists Thursday as the Kings took down the Bulls.
Williams played a season-high 22 minutes Thursday. The former second overall draft selection is still only 23 years old, the talent is there. Don't rush to go pick him up by any means, but keep an eye on him, in case he keeps getting minutes off the Kings' bench.
Wed Nov 12 201413:40Williams came into game against Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday for ...
Williams came into the game against the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday for one minute. He missed his only field goal attempt (0-1 FG).
Williams is having a hard time cracking the rotation on this Kings team. The once promising player out of Arizona, taken second overall in the 2011 NBA draft has digressed quite a bit. Leave him on your waiver wire.

Williams received a DNP Friday against the Trail Blazers after playing in just 13 minutes in the season opener Wednesday
Jason Thompson, Reggie Evans and Carl Landry all saw minutes over Williams, who made just one of his four shots Wednesday. Williams' role on the Kings continues to be in serious question.
Fri Oct 31 201422:47Williams (knee) active for Friday's game against Trail Blazers
Williams (knee) was active for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers.
The Kings listed Williams as probable heading into the game, so it comes as little surprise that he ended up dressing for the game. The former No. 2 overall pick tallied two points and two rebounds over 13 minutes in his season debut Wednesday against the Warriors.
