Williams won't play in Thursday's preseason game against the Kings due to general soreness, Benjamin Royer of The Orange County Register reports.
Williams was also held out for the second half of a preseason back-to-back Tuesday, and he'll take a seat again Thursday with coach JJ Redick indicating a number of Lakers are dealing with minor injuries, per Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com. Williams' next opportunity to return will arrive Tuesday against Golden State.
