Jazz's Cody Williams: Out with illness
Rotowire
Williams is out for Thursday's preseason finale against Portland due to an illness, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
The forward sees his next chance to play in Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Clippers. Given the nature of his ailment, Williams figures to be ready by then.
Williams registered 13 points (5-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist, one steal and two blocks in 26 minutes of Monday's 114-101 preseason loss to the Mavericks.
Williams, who is looking to bounce back from a disappointing rookie season, is shooting 38.5 percent from the field through three exhibitions. His counting stats have been decent, however, with the forward averaging 9.0 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 0.7 blocks, 0.7 steals and 0.7 three-pointers in 21.7 minutes per contest.
Williams supplied 26 points (9-17 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 3-5 FT), five rebounds, three assists and two steals across 32 minutes in Friday's 105-92 Summer League loss to the Bulls.
Williams capped off an already promising Summer League showing with a game-high 26 points Friday. He'll look to carry that momentum into a bounce-back sophomore campaign after a disappointing 2024-25 rookie season, when he averaged 4.6 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.2 assists on 32.3 percent shooting across 21.2 minutes in 50 games (21 starts).

Jazz's Cody Williams: Scores team-high 23 points in win
Rotowire
Williams finished with 23 points (9-16 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two steals across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 86-76 Summer League win against the Wizards.
Williams was one of four players for his squad to score in double figures. The Colorado product has now scored 22 or more points in his last two games during the Las Vegas Summer League.
Williams recorded 22 points (8-17 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and three steals during Sunday's 103-93 Summer League loss to the Warriors.
Williams put together an impressive all-around performance Sunday, leading the team in scoring, rebounds, steals and tying for a team-high in assists. One area Williams will look to improve as Summer League continues is from beyond the arc, where he has shot just 23.5 percent over his last two contests.
Williams produced 14 points (5-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block across 25 minutes in Saturday's 93-89 Summer League win over the 76ers.
Williams is coming off an inconsistent rookie year, during which he averaged 4.6 points, 2.3 rebounds and 1.2 assists while shooting 32.3 percent from the field. He missed the end of the campaign after testing positive for mononucleosis, but there were no reported restrictions ahead of Summer League. Minutes won't be much easier to come by in his second season, however, as the Jazz selected Ace Bailey with the No. 5 overall pick in the NBA Draft.
The Jazz announced Wednesday that Williams tested positive for mononucleosis, ruling him out for the remainder of the season, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.
Williams will be re-evaluated in three weeks, at which time he'll likely be available to begin his offseason conditioning. Williams had a rough rookie season in Utah, making 50 total appearances with averages of 4.6 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 0.7 three-pointers on 32.3 percent shooting from the field.

Jazz's Cody Williams: Dealing with illness
Rotowire
Williams is questionable for Monday's game against the Hornets due to illness.
The Jazz are already very shorthanded for Monday, so this isn't ideal for the team. In terms of fantasy, Williams hasn't been very effective despite starting nine straight games, averaging 4.0 points, 1.7 rebounds and 0.9 assists on 25 percent shooting during that stretch.
