Kidd: Deron Williams Return Date Questionable

Tonight before the Nets took on the Pistons at the Barclay Center, Nets head coach Jason Kidd gave some intriguing information about his start point guard.

The New York Post is reporting that Kidd told reporters that Deron Williams has been doing some light shooting as he continues to work his way back from a sprained ankle and a bone bruise he suffered last month in workouts but there is a possibility that Williams could miss the next four preseason games.

The coach did reiterate that there hasn’t been a setback with Williams’ ankle and they are just going to be very cautious.

A new twist in the Deron Williams injury story, as Jason Kidd opens the possibility of him missing the start of the season.
