Deron Williams: (Ankles) Healthy and Expected to be Ready for Open of Training Camp

Williams (ankles) is healthy and getting into shape with the expectation that he'll be ready to participate when training camp opens at the end of September, Newsday reports.

Analysis:

Williams underwent surgery on both of his ankles at the end of May. He had arthroscopic surgery performed on his left ankle that included the removal of spurs from the front and back of the ankle and a cleaning out of his joint. While it's encouraging to hear that Williams is doing well in his rehab, the serial issues with his ankles last season limited Williams to 64 games, so there's going to be a certain level of skepticism at the start of the season about his ability to stay healthy.
