Having sat out the two previous games with a sprained left ankle, Deron Williams returned and promptly hurt the joint again after landing on Kemba Walker’s foot in the second quarter last night. Per Newsday: “He’s just as frustrated as we are,’ Paul Pierce said after the 95-91 loss to Charlotte. ‘Obviously, he’s been dealing with this all summer and then one ankle gets better and he hurts the other one. You have to talk to him to really understand his frustration, but we’re also frustrated for him.’ With just more than three minutes left in the second quarter, Williams landed on Kemba Walker’s foot as he followed through on a jumper. Williams, fouled on the play by Walker, tried to walk it off and took the free throws. But after Williams made both, the Nets fouled on the ensuing possession to get him out of the game.”
