Analysis:

Williams is dealing with a calf injury, and he's been limited to stretching and riding an exercise bike for the last two days. Carlisle did not appear overly concerned about the injury, but he did mention that he doesn't expect Williams to play in all of the Mavs' preseason contests. Dallas kicks off preseason play on Oct. 6 against the Nuggets.
