Deron Williams (wrist) done for season?

The New Jersey Nets may shut down point guard Deron Williams for the rest of the season, according to a report in the Bergen (N.J.) Record.

Williams aggravated his ailing strained right wrist on a drive to the basket in the third quarter of the Nets' 105-95 road loss to the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday night. Coach Avery Johnson told The Associated Press he wanted to take Williams out of the game, but the All-Star asked to continue playing.

Williams finished with 18 points and nine assists but shot 4-for-13 from the field.

His shooting has been awful, and I blame the wrist. I say we let him rest till next season. There's no point in aggravating the injury, since the Nets won't make the playoffs. We'll start fresh and hopefully healthy next season.

Sucks for the fans who pay to go watch the Nets (all 12 of them) but it is better to keep him healthy than risk injury in a meaningless season.
