Williams (illness) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Nets, Sean Highkin of Rip City Radio 620 Portland reports.

Williams will miss a third straight game, with the first being due to rest and the last two being the result of an illness. Deandre Ayton (calf) is returning from a one-game absence and should start Tuesday, while Donovan Clingan is locked in as the team's backup center. With that in mind, Williams likely would have been outside of the rotation against the Nets even if he had been available.
