Williams will miss a third straight game due to a right hand injury, and his next opportunity to play will be in Monday's rematch against Phoenix. Jabara Walker will continue to serve in the Trail Blazer's center rotation behind starter Deandre Ayton and backup Donovan Clingan.

Williams is in danger of missing Saturday's contest after being a late addition to the injury report due to hand soreness. However, Williams hadn't logged any playing time in Portland's previous two outings despite being available, so his potential absence won't affect the team's rotation.
