Marcus Williams: Unable to help secure win
Williams (undisclosed) played 15 minutes in the team's G League playoff loss to the Hustle on Wednesday, registering seven points (2-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and four assists.
Stockton returned the majority of its injured players, but the fresh players weren't enough to help Stockton advanced to the second round. The second-year G League guard averaged 8.1 points, 9.8 assists and 2.8 rebounds in 31 games with Stockton this season.

Marcus Williams: Returns from five-game suspension
Williams returned from his five-game suspension Friday, finishing the contest against the Blue with seven points (3-13 FG, 1-8 3Pt), 12 assists and two rebounds.
It's worth point out Williams saw 31 minutes Friday, but just two minutes Saturday against Northern Arizona so it's obvious his workload will fluctuate. In the latter contest, only one player from the Stockton bench played more than 16 minutes, so it could have been a specific game plan that kept the veteran on the bench. It's more than likely that Saturday's result was simply a blip in the radar, and Williams should be in line for his usual playing time in the future.

Marcus Williams: Suspended for five games
Williams did not play in Stockton's 95-88 loss to Santa Cruz on Wednesday as part of a five-game suspension for violating the G League's Anti-Drug program.
Williams was handed a five-game suspension from the G League office Tuesday. Williams has been a modest contributor for Stockton this season, averaging about 9.5 points per game. When Williams gets cleared to play again, there's no guarantee he'll return to playing around 27 minutes a night, considering his subpar 35.4 field goal percentage. Then again, averaging 9.5 assists per game shows that Williams is a key facilitator for Stockton, so it's unlikely that his minutes will be drastically reduced once he serves the duration of his suspension.

Marcus Williams: Finishes Thursday with double-double

Williams has played 18 games with Stockton this season, averaging 8.6 points, 8.7 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 0.9 steals. While the point guard has been woefully inefficient from the field (32.9 percent from the field) his role as a facilitator is important when considering the litany of scorers on Stockton.
