That stretch included a 25-point, 10-rebound performance in a win over Indiana on Feb. 20.<\/p>\n<p>A stalwart at the G League level over the last few seasons, Williams set a new career high by scoring 22.5 points per game in 35 outings for the Capital City Go-Go in 2025\/26. The 26-year-old also contributed 5.5 rebounds, 4.2 assists, and 1.5 steals per game. In 2023\/24, he was named the G League\u2019s Most Improved Player and claimed a spot on the All-NBAGL first team.<\/p>\n<p>There could be a path for Williams to earn a spot on the Wizards\u2019 opening night roster this fall, given that the team is currently carrying 14 players on standard contracts. But unless he has a huge preseason, it seems more likely that he\u2019ll return to the Go-Go to open the season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Wizards and free agent guard Alondes Williams have agreed to terms on a deal, agent Daniel Hazan&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":847017,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[557],"tags":[417751,64,63,590,85],"class_list":["post-847016","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nba","tag-alondes-williams","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-nba","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/847016","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=847016"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/847016\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/847017"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=847016"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=847016"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=847016"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
