Williams (back) will be available off the bench Tuesday.

Analysis:

It does not sound like he is at 100 percent health, and he probably won't see big-time minutes, but it's a good sign that he will finally be able to get back in the mix. Minnesota's rough start to the season has triggered a look to the future, so Zach LaVine will probably still be the starter with Ricky Rubio out. Once Williams starts operating at full health, he could still be of use in mid-sized leagues as he is a better distributor than LaVine.
