Utah Jazz rookie Cody Williams has been ruled out for the remainder of the 2024-25 season due to mononucleosis. Initially sidelined for a game against the Charlotte Hornets due to illness, subsequent testing confirmed the viral infection. The 10th overall pick in the draft will undergo reevaluation in three weeks before resuming offseason conditioning. Williams averaged 4.6 points and 2.3 rebounds over 50 games this season, showing flashes of potential despite limited playing time.

He concluded the season with a career-high of 13 points against the Phoenix Suns earlier this year and also had a notable stint with the Salt Lake City Stars in the G League, where he averaged 17.1 points. While his rookie campaign was marked by inconsistency, Williams demonstrated his upside, suggesting a promising future in the NBA.
