Mavericks' Deron Williams: Cleared to play Sunday

Williams (calf) has been cleared to play Sunday against the Pelicans, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis:

After a four-game absence due to the calf strain, Williams returned to the court Friday against the Cavaliers, but only saw action during the first half of that game. According to Dwain Price of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, there's a chance Williams plays during the second half of Sunday's game, although it wouldn't be surprising if the point guard ultimately had his minutes restricted. For that reason, it may be wise to steer clear of him in daily contests until he begins to consistently log a full workload.
