Deron Williams (sports hernia) should still be back with Dallas by camp

Dallas Mavericks point guard Deron Williams (sports hernia) expects to be ready in time to participate without restriction in training camp.

What It Means:

That has been the word on the issue all summer, but it is encouraging that there have been no set-backs since his June 9 surgery.

Williams averaged 14.1 points and 5.8 assists in 32.4 minutes per game last season, while he posted a .530 true shooting percentage, a 29.3 percent assist rate and a -1.9 nERD that ranked 99th in the NBA.
