INDIANAPOLIS – Deron Williams will miss the final two games before the All-Star break – Monday night against the Pacers and Wednesday night in Brooklyn against the Nuggets – with synovitis in both ankles. He is expected to return after the All-Star break.
Williams is not in Indianapolis with the team, and instead remained in New York to get treatment on both ankles, which included receiving platelet-rich plasma in both of them.
It's not the first time Williams has had an injection in one of his ankles this season, as he received a cortisone shot in his left ankle to help deal with a bone spur that was causing inflammation in the ankle.
Williams, in the first year of a five-year contract worth nearly $100 million he inked to re-sign with the Nets in July to become the face of the franchise's move to Brooklyn, hasn't played up to his previous levels of success for the Nets this season. He is averaging 16.7 points and 7.6 assists while shooting 41.3 percent from the field and 34.7 percent from 3-point range.
