"I didn't think this day would come. These three years here have been very special for me. The guys I played with, employees, doctors, coaching staff, management - I just want to say 'Thank you' to all of you for everything you did for me and my family.

It's hard to talk about parting ways. We say goodbye in a friendly way, we do it with complete mutual understanding. Now it is important for me to be at home with my family," Williams said on his departure.

The 29-year-old big man was a member of Loko since 2019.

The former Phoenix Suns and Brooklyn Nets athlete was having a stellar year with Lokomotiv Kuban last season, averaging 22.1 points and 13.1 rebounds per game in the VTB United League, but then he suffered a knee injury and was forced to miss the rest of the season.

This campaign was not as successful as the last one. Williams had a smaller role for the Russian team, due to the great level of playing that Johnathan Motley was showing.

Williams posted 10.3 points and 7.0 rebounds over 6 VTB duels this season, while recording 6.4 points and 6.3 rebounds in 8 7DAYS EuroCup matches.
