after a lengthy recovery period from offseason cleanup surgery has met with some backlash, with interim head coach Joe Mazura saying: , wondering if he&#8217;ll take the Time Lord off the bench.<\/p>\n<p>But after the team&#8217;s victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday night, Williams looked like himself.<\/p>\n<p>This topic was covered in a recent discussion on CLNS

The hosts debated whether it made more sense for the Time Lords to return to the starting lineup or keep coming off the bench.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\">\n<p><span
