Cavaliers' Deron Williams: Will move back to bench role Monday

Williams will return to the bench for Monday's game against the Heat, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

Analysis:

Williams drew the start at point guard on Saturday with Kyrie Irving getting the night off for rest, posting 10 points, five rebounds and seven assists across 27 minutes. However, with Irving back with the starters, Williams will head to the bench in the corresponding move and will likely see his minutes drop into the upper teens or low 20's, thus restricting him to a limited role with the second unit.
