Deron Williams: Out again Tuesday vs. Trail Blazers

Williams was given a doubtful designation earlier Tuesday, so he was fully
expected to remain sidelined for seventh consecutive game. According to Dwain
Price of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, coach Rick Carlisle indicated that he’s
not sure if Williams will be back on the floor prior to the All-Star break, so
he could be a few weeks away from making a full recovery. Yogi Ferrell is in
line to pick up another start, a role he’s flourished in with averages of 17.2
points, 2.8 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.8 steals and 3.0 three-pointers across 37.2
minutes over the last five games. Devin Harris should see the backup minutes
behind Ferrell.
