| Tue Feb 24 | 17:21 | Vince Williams Jr. Out for Remainder of Season |
ESPN's Shams Charania reports that Utah Jazz guard/forward Vince Williams Jr. (knee) has been diagnosed with a torn left ACL and will miss the remainder of the season. Williams' injury occurred in a collision with Tari Eason against Houston on Monday. A timetable for when the 25-year-old is expected to return hasn't been set. His injury boosts Isaiah Collier and Ace Bailey's fantasy value moving forward, as they will have expanded roles. Williams saw action in 40 contests this season, posting averages of 7.5 points, 4.2 assists and 3.9 rebounds in 20.5 minutes per game. |

| Tue Feb 24 | 08:54 | Vince Williams Jr. Feared to Have Significant Knee Injury |
Utah Jazz guard/forward Vince Williams Jr. (left knee) exited Monday's loss to Houston and is scheduled for an MRI after leaving the arena on crutches. The 25-year-old went down in the first half following contact and did not return, raising concern about a potential extended absence. His injury tightens the wing rotation and boosts the fantasy outlook for Isaiah Collier and Ace Bailey, who should see steadier roles. John Konchar logged 24 minutes with five points, four rebounds, two assists, and three steals, while Brice Sensabaugh poured in 26 points with four triples in 32 minutes. Both remain volatile but viable deep-league streamers if Williams misses time. |

| Fri Jan 9 | 18:44 | Vince Williams Jr. Available to Play on Friday |
Memphis Grizzlies shooting guard Vince Williams Jr. (knee) is available to play Friday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Williams returned Monday, playing 22 minutes and recording 15 points, six rebounds, and five assists. After missing the second half of Tuesday's back-to-back, Williams is set to play and have a big role against the defending champions. With Ja Morant (calf), Scotty Pippen Jr. (toe), Ty Jerome (calf), and John Konchar (thumb) all out, and rookie Cedric Coward (ankle) listed as a game-time decision, Williams may have to handle a heavy workload despite just returning from injury. Fantasy managers can rely on the 25-year-old guard to provide some value against the Thunder, who have been struggling as of late. |

| Tue Jan 6 | 19:42 | Vince Williams Jr. Making Return Tuesday Against Spurs |
Memphis Grizzlies shooting guard Vince Williams Jr. (knee) is returning to the lineup on Tuesday as the Grizzlies face the San Antonio Spurs. Williams has missed the previous eight games with left patellar tendinitis but is off the injury report and set to play. The fourth-year guard has averaged 7.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 4.9 assists in 22 games this season, starting in just half of them. With Ja Morant (calf) ruled out for Tuesday, Williams could have a legitimate role despite likely seeing a minutes restriction. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Morant's status moving forward, as Williams could become a key option for the Grizzlies if Morant ends up missing more time. |

Memphis Grizzlies forward Vince Williams Jr. (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lakers, extending his absence to eight straight contests due to left knee tendinitis. With Williams still sidelined, Memphis continues to lean on its depleted wing rotation. Cedric Coward has been the most productive beneficiary, averaging 14.6 points, 7.6 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and 1.3 three-pointers in 27.3 minutes over his last seven games. Cam Spencer has added steady playmaking, while Jaylen Wells and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope remain situational fantasy options in deeper formats. |

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Vince Williams Jr. (knee) is out for Tuesday's game against the 76ers, making it six straight games the versatile contributor has missed with this lingering left knee injury. Since Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (hamstring) is also out, there will be even more time available on the wings for Cedric Coward and Jaylen Wells, as the Grizzlies look to fill in for KCP and Williams. The next chance for Williams to get back on the floor will be Friday against the Lakers. |

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Vince Williams Jr. (knee) will remain on the shelf Sunday against the Washington Wizards, missing a fifth consecutive game. The 25-year-old exited the lineup earlier this month with left patellar tendinitis, and his return date remains uncertain.

Spencer has logged a couple of double-doubles in December, averaging 17.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 7.3 assists. |

| Fri Dec 26 2025 | 13:04 | Vince Williams Jr. Remains Sidelined Friday |
Memphis Grizzlies guard Vince Williams Jr. (knee) will miss his fourth consecutive game when his team hosts the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday. The 25-year-old is dealing with left patellar tendinitis, and a timeline for his return remains unclear. Williams recently moved back to a bench role before his injury. He'll have plenty of company on the sidelines, as he is one of six Grizzlies ruled out Friday. Cam Spencer, Jaylen Wells, and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope will see more playing time, especially if Ja Morant (questionable, ankle) and Cedric Coward (questionable, ankle) are inactive. |

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Vince Williams Jr. (knee) will be out of action for a third consecutive game on Tuesday against the Utah Jazz. He is dealing with left patellar tendinitis, and it's unclear if Williams Jr. can return to the lineup before the calendar flips to 2026. Williams Jr. has joined a long list of injuries for Memphis, making players like Cam Spencer, Jaylen Wells, and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope more appealing fantasy options. |

| Fri Oct 24 2025 | 16:45 | Grizzlies Injury Woes Continue, Without Vince Williams Jr. Friday |
Memphis Grizzlies shooting guard Vince Williams Jr. (heel) will miss Friday's matchup with the Heat as he continues to recover. Williams also missed the team's opening day 128-122 win over the Pelicans. The former second-round pick averaged 6.6 points and 3.6 rebounds in just 18.5 minutes per game last season. Williams will likely operate this season as a glue-guy off the bench who is capable of chipping in rebounds and assists despite shooting just 40.1% from the field last season. Williams can be left on waivers throughout the early portion of the season, until we see if his role grows throughout the season. |

| Sun Mar 16 2025 | 20:58 | Vince Williams Jr. Returning On Monday |
Memphis Grizzlies forward Vince Williams Jr. (ankle) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Williams appears ready to get back in action following a one-game absence due to a right ankle issue. Williams has been fairly quiet recently with three straight games of seven points or less. The 24-year-old doesn't exactly have a big role in the rotation, but possibly he sees more minutes with Santi Aldama (calf) doubtful for this contest. Regardless, Williams is a fairly risky streaming option for Monday's slate. |

| Fri Feb 21 2025 | 18:31 | Vince Williams Jr. Sits Out Meeting With Magic |
Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Vince Williams Jr. (knee) will not suit up for Friday's game against the Orlando Magic, having been downgraded from questionable to out. Williams Jr. lands on the shelf following a 20-minute outing on Thursday against the Indiana Pacers. He is managing left knee soreness. Williams Jr.'s exit from the lineup creates additional playing opportunities for GG Jackson II and Luke Kennard. On Thursday night, neither player impressed, as they combined for 5-for-12 shooting. |

| Fri Feb 21 2025 | 14:29 | Vince Williams Jr. Considered Questionable Against Magic |
Memphis Grizzlies forward Vince Williams Jr. (knee) has received a questionable status for Friday's matchup with the Orlando Magic. The 24-year-old has struggled mightily with injuries all season but has played in four of the team's last five games. He did, however, sit out of one half of their last back-to-back, so it wouldn't be surprising if they held him out of Friday's game after they played Thursday against the Indiana Pacers. Santi Aldama, GG Jackson II, and Luke Kennard will likely receive some more minutes off of the bench if Williams doesn't suit up. The former is still one of the best fantasy options in deep leagues, and he dropped 10 points, seven rebounds, three assists, one steal, and one block in an off night against the Pacers. |

| Thu Feb 20 2025 | 08:49 | Vince Williams Jr. Returns To Action Thursday |
Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Vince Williams Jr. (knee) will be active on Thursday against the Indiana Pacers.

It has been a tough season for Williams Jr., who has made only six appearances due to health issues. He has averaged 5.7 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 2.2 assists in 14.8 minutes. Williams Jr.'s role should grow over the final couple of months of the season if he can stay clear of injuries. |

| Wed Feb 12 2025 | 21:21 | Vince Williams Jr. Will Not Play Against Clippers |
Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Vince Williams Jr. (knee) will be inactive against the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday. The team has ruled him out for the contest after initially listing Williams Jr. as questionable. Williams Jr. has only recently returned from a lengthy absence, and it was unlikely that Memphis would have him play both games in a back-to-back situation. GG Jackson II may be more involved in the action on Wednesday with Williams Jr. out. Jackson II struggled on Tuesday against the Phoenix Suns but has offered low-tier fantasy value lately, averaging 12.6 points and 3.8 rebounds this month. |

Memphis Grizzlies guard Vince Williams Jr.(knee) is questionable for Wednesday's meeting with the Los Angeles Clippers due to soreness in his left knee. For the Grizzlies, Wednesday's game is the second leg of a back-to-back set. Williams played during the first leg, posting seven points, nine rebounds, and one assist across 17 minutes, beating the Suns 119-112 on Tuesday. Ja Morant(knee) is also questionable for the contest this evening, so the Grizzlies might give the two players a longer rest during the upcoming All-Star break. If Williams is out of action, GG Jacksonwill see an uptick in minutes on the floor on Wednesday. |

| Thu Nov 21 2024 | 18:14 | Vince Williams Jr. Out At Least A Month |
Memphis Grizzlies forward Vince Williams Jr. (ankle) has only managed to play in three games this season as the injuries continue to pile up on him. Williams suffered a Grade 3 right ankle sprain during Tuesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. As a result, Williams will be shut down for four weeks and will be re-evaluated after that. The Grizzlies are likely going to use a committee approach to fill the void left by Williams. Jake LaRavia, John Konchar, and Luke Kennard should all see increased roles going forward. Out of the trio, LaRavia is the best fantasy option out of the bunch. He's worth a look as a streaming option with the Grizzlies shorthanded right now. |
