Ziaire Williams is managing a left ankle sprain and is uncertain to play for the Brooklyn Nets. The team faces the Miami Heat at home on January 25, 2025.
Williams did not play in the recent game against the Phoenix Suns on January 22, where the Nets lost by 24 points. In that game, Keon Johnson led with 20 points. The absence of Williams was noticeable as he had no contributions in terms of points or minutes.
This season, Williams averages 9.6 points per game and has played in 31 games while missing 14. He has started in half of those games and contributes more when starting, averaging 11.5 points compared to 7.5 off the bench. His presence seems to impact team performance as they average more points when he plays.
