Deron Williams: Suffers knee injury, probable to return

Williams suffered a bruised left knee in Wednesday's game against the Suns but is probable to return, Earl K. Sneed of Mavs.com reports.

Analysis:

Williams suffered the injury when he was stepped on inadvertently in the third quarter of Wednesday's game. Williams' injury does not appear serious, and it's encouraging to hear his return is probable, but the Mavericks were way ahead on the scoreboard at the time of the injury, and Williams was already facing a minutes restriction, so the team may opt to hold him out the rest of the way.
