Marvin Williams has a Grade-1 sprained left ankle and will not return to Saturday's game.
Grade-1 is relatively minor, so Williams suffered no ligament damage and should be ready to go in a few days. Whether he'll suit up vs. the Nets on Monday is uncertain at this point, so fantasy owners should prepare to set weekly lineups without him. If he sits, Vladimir Radmanovic and Tracy McGrady figure to absorb his minutes.

Phew, glad that this and a knee bruise for TMac were the worst injuries we received through this gauntlet.

Co-sign that, I like Vlad and I would like to see him start but when he's on he's great and when he's off it's not pretty so I think it works better with him off the bench to give that spark when he's lights out

If u are not going to start Vlad you need to start T-Mac or Willie Green and let Joe play the 3. The truth is Ivan is too erratic and reckless to start or play big minutes. He does things that you just can't have, like breaking plays. Once again I think people are listening too much to people like Charles

Blah blah blah.
Go big and mix lineups. Start Ivan at the 4 see if he can get some stops and let Teague Joe and Josh run the break. Ivan can trail, and make some perimeter plays. Mix in Vlad for shooting. Post up Josh and Joe on the small wings for easy points. Rim runs. Simple basketball.
Just watching replays, Smith backs down Taj, 6;10 7'4 length contests Smith...airball.

I definatley agree that we should rest Marvin against a very weak new jersey team which is getting blown out, as for the starters to me it doesn't matter who starts I'll just let LD figure that out, he's been one of the best rotation coaches in the league this year, again it doesn't matter as long as we get the win all of the bench players have been splended.
