Utah's Williams leaves game with foot injury

[Rios15]

CHICAGO (AP) -- Utah Jazz guard Deron Williams left an exhibition game against the Chicago Bulls on Saturday after falling awkwardly and spraining his left ankle in the first quarter.

Williams had X-rays, which were negative, but the Jazz said he wouldn't return to the game.

Williams pulled up for a 3-pointer midway through the period. He made contact with Chicago guard Derrick Rose when elevating for the shot and fell to the floor. Rose was called for a foul on the play.

Williams was carried off the court by two teammates as he grimaced in pain. He then left the floor for the locker room on a wheelchair.

Williams, who was on the gold medal-winning U.S. Olympic team at the Beijing Olympics, has career averages of 15.3 points, 8.1 assists and 2.9 rebounds while appearing in a total of 242 of a possible 246 career games, including all 82 during the 2007-08 regular season.

Doesn't sound too serious...

Hopefully he'll be back for Utah's season opener which I think is against the Nuggets or else I don't think the Jazz will have a good start to the season.

Taken off on a wheelchair, I was trying to make fun of Paul Pierce.
