Cody Williams Heads to Minnesota After a Rough Rookie Year in Utah
newsroom · 43 min agoCody Williams is now a Minnesota Timberwolf after spending last season with the Utah Jazz. The 21-year-old forward posted modest rookie numbers in 2025-26 and enters 2026-27 healthy, with no name on the injury report. There is no record or recent game data yet to size up his fit with Minnesota.
A New Team for Year Two
Cody Williams is on the Minnesota Timberwolves roster now, wearing No. 5. Last season he played for the Utah Jazz, but that stint is behind him. He is 21 years old, out of Colorado, and heading into his second NBA season. He stands 6-8 and 190 pounds, a forward build that fits the modern NBA's need for length on the wing. The move to Minnesota gives him a fresh set of coaches and teammates after a rookie year in Utah that had its share of growing pains. There is no game log yet to show how he fits in a Timberwolves uniform, but the roster spot is confirmed for 2026-27.
The Rookie-Year Numbers
Williams played 67 games with Utah last season, averaging 24.3 minutes a night. He put up 8.8 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game, with 0.8 steals and 0.4 blocks. His turnover rate was low at 1.1 per game. Those are backup-caliber minutes with modest scoring, the kind of season a young wing plays while he learns the speed of the league. None of those numbers carry over to Minnesota's box score — they are last season's totals with a different team — but they are the only track record on file for evaluating what he might offer the Timberwolves in 2026-27.
Shooting and Efficiency
The shooting split from last season shows a player still finding his form. Williams shot 46.8% from the field overall but just 21.4% from three-point range, a number that will need to climb if he is going to stick as a floor-spacing forward. He shot 70.6% from the free-throw line. His true shooting percentage sat at 52.4%, below league average for a wing. His usage rate was 15.9%, meaning the offense did not run through him often in Utah. His plus-minus was -5.9, a rough number that reflects a young player logging minutes on a rebuilding roster rather than a finished product.
Injury Report
Cody Williams is not on the injury report right now. There is no injury history on file for him either. That is a clean bill of health heading into a new chapter with Minnesota, and it means any conversation about his role with the Timberwolves starts with him fully available rather than working back from a setback.
What Comes Next
With no current-season record, recent games or rumors on file yet, the picture on Cody Williams with the Timberwolves is still being written. What is known is the baseline: a 21-year-old forward with one NBA season under his belt, a modest scoring role, a shaky three-point shot and a clean injury report. The next real signal will come once Minnesota's games are on the board and his role in the rotation starts to take shape.
