Mikey Williams is not in the 2024 NBA draft. In January this year, he announced his decision to transfer to the University of Central Florida via Instagram.

"All I needed was a chance." Williams wrote as part on the caption of his post.

Williams was arrested last year following an incident at his home in March. As per reports, shots were allegedly fired at a carful of people who had left the player's residence.

Williams reportedly faced nine felony counts in the case. He eventually pleaded guilty in November to a lesser felony charge of making criminal threats.

The plea meant that the player could get the charge reduced to a misdemeanor if he satisfied certain requirements before his scheduled sentencing in August.

Due to the legal process of his charges and arrest, Williams could not feature in any games for Memphis last season. However, all of his off-court issues seem to be in the past now.

As things stand, Williams will suit up to feature for the UCF Knights next season.
