January 6, 2010
Updating a previous report, Deron Williams (wrist) has been officially ruled out for Wednesday's game, according to Ross Siler on Twitter.

January 5, 2010
After their slow start, the Utah Jazz are supposedly willing to trade anyone on their roster besides point guard Deron Williams, according to Yahoo! Sports.
