After rolling his left ankle in the second half of Game 6 against the Toronto Raptors, Deron Williams admitted on Monday that he received an injection ahead of the Brooklyn Nets' Game 7 victory.
Deron Williams said he had "an injection" on his left ankle after Game 6. Said it knocked out the swelling and it feels pretty good.

Williams was in a considerable amount of pain after going down, but he remained in the contest until the final minute. In Game 7, he posted 13 points on 3-of-8 shooting through 32 minutes.
With the Nets preparing to open up their second-round series against the Miami Heat, Williams' ankle is probably less at risk against Mario Chalmers than it was against Kyle Lowry.
