Williams went undrafted in the 2022 NBA Draft and spent last season with Anwil Wloclawek of the Polish OBL where he averaged 8.1 points, 5.5 rebounds and 17.7 minutes in 31 games.
Williams played college hoops at Louisville where he averaged 7.2 points, 5.5 rebounds and 17.9 minutes in 123 games over five NCAA seasons (2017-22).
With Jakob Poeltl sidelined and Jontay Porter under a gambling investigation, the Raptors will add another center to their depth chart.
Kobi Simmons’ 10-day contract expired Tuesday night, which created this open roster spot for Toronto as they continue to give different players chances as they close out the season.
Williams’ 10-day deal will bring him until the end of the Raptors season against the Miami Heat.
Toronto had previously signed Mouhamadou Gueye, DJ Carton, Jahmi’us Ramsey, Justise Winslow and Simmons to 10-day contracts. The two-way deals belong to Gueye and Carton.
The Raptors 7 remaining games this season come against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Milwaukee Bucks, Washington Wizards, Indiana Pacers, Brooklyn Nets, Miami Heat and Heat again.
The Raptors will put their 14-game losing streak on the line when they visit the Timberwolves tonight.
