Williams is expected to give way to D'Angelo Russell in the starting lineup for the remainder of the season, Baxter Holmes of ESPN Los Angeles reports

Analysis:

Lakers coach Byron Scott finally made an adjustment that has long been anticipated, starting D'Angelo Russell over Williams in Sunday's loss to the Bulls. Scott then said that the rookie will start for the rest of the season, presumably leaving Williams as the odd man out of the starting lineup. Williams should still have a key role off the bench, but it's notable that he played just 25 minutes to Russell's 34 in Sunday's game, marking a reversal of the usual allotment.
