GROUNDHOG DAY: Deron Williams OUT vs Hawks
[box]
As the Brooklyn Nets season turns it goes right back to where it started once again.
The Nets just announced that Deron Williams is OUT for tonight’s game against the Atlanta Hawks after getting an MRI on his left ankle today.
Jason Kidd said the results are still unknown but they are going to sit D-Will as a precautionary measure. Oh boy!
Alan Anderson will start in Williams place to keep the smaller lineup in tact with Paul Pierce at power forward.
Kidd said Deron got an MRI. He wanted to play. Team is calling it a sprained ankle. Alan Anderson will start tonight. #nets

Deron is out tonight. Left ankle swelled up last night. Had an MRI this morning, and wanted to play. But Nets sat him out as precaution. — Andy Vasquez (@andy_vasquez) January 6, 2014
Deron will be reevaluated tomorrow. #Nets are off — Mike Mazzeo (@MazzESPN) January 6, 2014
Alan Anderson will move into starting lineup. That will keep Nets with small lineup that features Paul Pierce at the four.
