Rotowire
Williams is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Clippers with left knee soreness.

Grizzlies' Vince Williams: Questionable to return Wednesday
Rotowire
Williams (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.
Williams hasn't been in action since Nov. 19 due to a Grade 3 right ankle sprain. He progressed enough in his recovery to be deemed week-to-week in late January, and he has a chance at making his return to the court Wednesday. Williams has played in just three regular-season games and has averaged 5.3 points and 3.7 rebounds over 15.0 minutes per contest.

Grizzlies' Vince Williams: Ruled out Monday

Grizzlies' Vince Williams: Deemed week-to-week
Rotowire
The Grizzlies announced Wednesday that Williams (ankle) continues to progress and is now viewed as week-to-week, Drew Hill of The Daily Memphian reports.
Williams hasn't played since Nov. 19 after suffering a Grade 3 right ankle sprain in just his third appearance of the season. After missing four weeks, Williams was re-evaluated in late December, with the Grizzlies announcing that he was expected to resume playing in 3-to-6 weeks. At this point, Williams looks to be tracking toward the longer end of that timeframe, potentially setting him up to return shortly before or after the All-Star break. Once healthy, Williams will likely struggle to capture a consistent 20-plus-minute role in a crowded Grizzlies wing rotation, so he likely won't be worth holding in most redraft leagues amid his ongoing absence.

Grizzlies' Vince Williams: Sees just 14 minutes
Rotowire
Williams provided three points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), one rebound and five assists in 14 minutes during Sunday's 105-90 win over Denver.
This was a disappointing workload for Williams, as the Grizzlies opted to get Luke Kennard and Jake LaRavia more involved off the bench Sunday. Williams has plenty of upside as he demonstrated many times last season, but it will be tough for him to provide consistent value with such a sporadic role, especially when Marcus Smart (illness), Ja Morant (hip) and Zach Edey (ankle) all return to action.
