Deron Williams (ankle inflammation) will miss the Nets' final two games before the All-Star break.
D-Will is dealing with "inflammation of ankle joint linings" and he received platelet-rich plasma therapy on Monday. The Nets official statement is that "he is expected to return after All-Star break," though there are no guarantees that he'll be ready to face the Bucks on Feb. 19. C.J. Watson, who missed the Nets' last game with an illness, will be thrust into a major role this week, with games Monday at Indiana and Wednesday vs. Denver.
