Deron Williams’ Games Played

Deron Williams has been on the wrong side of the injury bug in recent seasons. For Dallas to have consistent success at the point guard position, that has to change.

Stats like these are important for every player, but it’s Deron’s history that makes this extremely important. The game he played in the playoffs last year was a game Dallas won, but he only played the first quarter.

He put up 11 points right at the start of the game, then left and never returned. This is the lone game Dallas won in the series.

Deron Williams seems to be ready to go at the beginning of the season, and hopefully he can remain relatively healthy throughout the season.
