Cody Williams Rumors

Andy Larsen: Last year, the Jazz did their press conference with Cody Williams, Isaiah Collier, and Kyle Filipowski on the Tuesday after the draft, so waiting a few days is not uncommon. I'm told to still expect that press conference on or before that this year with Ace Bailey.

Cody Williams, an NBA rookie on the Utah Jazz, is supporting his brother, Jalen Williams. While Cody has already made a name for himself in the league, watching his brother play for a championship brings out a different kind of emotion. “His game has my heartbeat racing, I’m not gonna lie,” Cody said. “My games, when I’m playing basketball, it’s like I’m calm because you know, you’re in control of it, to a certain extent. But watching his games, I have no control."

Cody said Jalen is the same person on and off the court. “The things you see on court, the way he’s smiling, laughing, just having fun, that’s how he is off the court,” Cody said. “He’s unapologetically him. Everything you see out there is who he is.” When asked how tall his brother really is, Cody joked, “I think he’s 6-3, but that’s just me personally. I’ll give him 6-5.”

“Some parts of it make me angry. Other parts make me sad,” Williams said. “As I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned to appreciate everything that happened and I look back and believe that if it didn’t happen that way, I don’t think I would be in the position I was. So, in a way, honestly, it just makes me feel kind of relieved and happy that was the way it went. I remember a lot of times I would work out because something went wrong or I didn’t get picked for something I thought I should get picked for. It made me go to the gym. It made me take it way more seriously. “So, I thank God a lot for the opportunities that I got or the opportunities I didn’t get in order to push through. It makes me a little bit emotional. I think what makes me most emotional is probably just for a lot of my hard work, Cody doesn’t have to go through it. He was able to just get recruited the right way and obviously get to the NBA deservingly. A lot of that stems from just I think a lot of the struggles I had.”

Brandon Rahbar: Jalen Williams: “I haven’t really wrapped my head around the fact that I’m in the NBA Finals. I’m still trying to get over the fact that my brother is in the NBA. It’s definitely a blessing that we’re here.”

Multiple team sources, interviewed by The Athletic, provided some answers. Utah isn’t currently sure where it will take its roster once the offseason hits. But, it can go one of two ways. One is to build around forward Lauri Markkanen with a veteran-laden core. In that case, expect the Jazz to hit the market and attempt to secure veteran help to bolster their roster. The other way is to double down on the Jazz’s many young players on their roster: Keyonte George, Isaiah Collier, Walker Kessler, Taylor Hendricks and Kyle Filipowski, along with last year’s lottery pick, Cody Williams.

New York Times

Michael Scotto: Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen (knee) to miss at least 7-10 days. Forward John Collins (ankle) will miss at least one more week. Rookie Cody Williams (mononucleosis) will miss the remainder of the 2024-25 season.
