Deron Williams to miss next two games minimum – London doubtful

[box]

Jason Kidd told reporters today that Deron Williams will not be playing in the next two games against the Miami Heat on Friday night and at the Toronto Raptors on Saturday night.

He also added that D-Will will be re-evaluated this weekend to decide if was healthy enough to make the team trip to London to play the Atlanta Hawks on January 16th.

This is not shocking news by any means knowing how careful the Nets have been with D-Will in the past and his PRP (platelet rich plasma) treatment that he received this past Monday has to set in.

He has already missed 13 games due to his chronic ankles this season so a few more games would not warrant too much concern considering how well the team is playing right now.

The hope is that he responds the way he did last season after the same treatment and leads the Nets the second half of the season into the playoffs.

Kidd says Deron is out through Saturday in Toronto, is questionable for London. Says decision will be made about London trip this weekend.

FWIW, Deron just made an appearance. Walked from locker room to weight room without any noticeable limp. #Nets
