Williams won't travel to Toronto for Monday's matchup against the Raptors to undergo further testing.

Robert Williams III Out Against Jazz
3 weeks agoPortland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III (knee) will not play on Monday against the Utah Jazz. He has been ruled out for a second consecutive game due to left knee soreness. With Deandre Ayton (calf) also still on the mend, Donovan Clingan and Jabari Walker will fill the minutes at the center position. The latter impressed with 20 points and 14 rebounds in Saturday's blowout win against the Charlotte Hornets. Clingan has had a couple of quiet showings but is averaging 7.6 points, 10.0 rebounds, and 2.8 blocks in a starting role.

Robert Williams III Available On Thursday
3 weeks agoPortland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III (knee) is active ahead of Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Williams missed the final two games before the All-Star break as he continues to manage a lingering knee issue. He's back in action on Thursday after missing seven of the last nine games. Williams is likely going to be asked to play a bigger role in the rotation going forward with Deandre Ayton (calf) being sidelined right now. Donovan Clingan should start which means Williams will get the backup minutes behind him. It probably won't be enough playing time to warrant starting Williams in most fantasy formats.

His absence is going to leave the Blazers shorthanded with Deandre Ayton (calf) also sidelined. That means, Donovan Clingan figures to play a big role in the rotation. The rookie big man is looking like a strong streaming option after a 21-point outing on Monday.
