33 games without Williams, 30 with him (2025-26 and 2026-27 regular season, only games Gilgeous-Alexander, Wallace and Holmgren played).

With Williams out, Jared McCain played 20 minutes a game instead of 16 and put up 18 fantasy points instead of 10 (12 games).

Isaiah Joe, who went from 15 to 23 minutes in these games last season, is now with DET.

Big numbers are per game without him; “was” is with him, counting only games the teammate played. “Shots” is field-goal attempts. Fewer than 5 games is marked as a small sample.
