An MRI conducted on Deron Williams’ ankle Monday revealed the All-Star guard suffered a second degree inversion sprain.
The MRI also showed all bone structure and tendons in and around the ankle to be normal.
The time frame for Williams’ return to action is a minimum of two weeks.
Originally selected by the Jazz in the first round (third overall) in the 2005 NBA Draft, Williams has appeared in 242 of a possible 246 regular season games and all 29 playoff games in his first three NBA seasons, posting career averages of 15.3 points and 8.1 assists in 34.4 minutes per game. Williams started all 82 games for the Jazz in 2007-08, averaging 18.8 points and 10.5 assists in 37.3 minutes per game. He became only the third player in NBA history to total 1500+ points and 800+ assists while shooting .500+ in a single season (Kevin Johnson, Magic Johnson) and was also selected to the All-NBA Second Team.
