Mavs' Williams strains hamstring, availability vs. Nets in question
Dallas Mavericks point guard Deron Williams left Tuesday night's loss to the Toronto Raptors with a left hamstring strain and did not return.
Williams has been for the most part healthy this season, missing only two games. He's averaging 15.1 points and 5.8 assists in his first season in Dallas, and all eyes will be on his health for Wednesday's game in Brooklyn against the Nets.
Will Deron Williams be ready to play his 1st game in Brooklyn on Wed. since the Nets bought out his contract this past summer?

"The last thing I want to do is miss this game tomorrow," Williams said after the game in Toronto, according to ESPN's Tim MacMahon. "It's definitely frustrating."
Williams said this week that his underwhelming time with the Nets made him question his desire to play basketball.
