Deron Williams to return against Boston Celtics

Brookyln Nets star Deron Williams is expected to return from injury on Tuesday.

Brooklyn Nets star Deron Williams could return to action on Tuesday night against the Boston Celtics, according to a team official.

Williams has missed the last eight games due to a sprained left ankle and the Nets have fallen to 5-14 for the season.

However, he is expected to return against the Celtics to give under-pressure rookie coach Jason Kidd a boost, ESPN reports.

The 28-year-old has been averaging just 9.3 points and six assists per game, while the Nets have now lost 12 of their last 14 outings.
