Williams (toe) is listed as doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Trail Blazers, Earl K. Sneed of Mavs.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Though coach Rick Carlisle noted Monday that he's not anticipating a long-term absence for Williams, the fact that the veteran point guard has yet to resume practicing since suffering the sprained left big toe likely means he'll be sidelined Tuesday in the second half of a back-to-back set for the Mavericks. Since the team won't hold a morning shootaround Tuesday, Williams' status may not be officially announced until shortly before the 8:30 p.m. tip off, but it appears safe to pencil in Yogi Ferrell for another start at point guard.

Williams (toe) missed his sixth straight game Monday against the Nuggets, but head coach Rick Carlisle said he is hopeful Williams could return "sometime soon."

EDGE Analysis

While Carlisle indicated Williams might be nearing a return, there isn't a huge rush to bring the veteran back with Yogi Ferrell handling the point guard duties with aplomb lately. When Williams is able to return he might he eased into action with limited minutes, and he might even be used off the bench initially if Carlisle wants to keep using Ferrell in the starting five.

Williams (toe) will be out for Monday's game against the Nuggets, Earl K. Sneed of Mavs.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

A doubtful tag was assigned to him after the team's shootaround, and Williams has ultimately been ruled out for Monday's contest. Yogi Ferrell should draw the start in his place, and should see 35-to-40 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Williams looks to be on pace to miss his sixth straight game with the toe sprain after originally being ruled a game-time decision for Monday. He remains without an official timetable for a return, so he should continue to be evaluated on a game-by-game basis moving forward. Should Williams officially be ruled out, Yogi Ferrell is expected to draw another start at point guard following his 32-point performance in Friday's victory over the Trail Blazers.

Williams (toe) will be a game-time decision for Monday's matchup with the Nuggets, Earl K. Sneed of Mavs.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams has missed the last five games with a toe sprain, but has a chance to return to the court Monday depending on how well his injurry responds to an increase in activity. He'll go through pregame warmups Monday with the hope of taking the court, but we may not get an official word on his availability until just prior to tip. If Williams is ultimately held out, Yogi Ferrell would likely draw another start after blowing up for 32 points and five assists on Friday against the Trail Blazers.

Williams (toe) has been ruled out for Friday's matchup against the Trail Blazers, Mavericks' play-by-play announcer Mark Followill reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams will now have missed five consecutive games while dealing with a toe sprain. Devin Harris and J.J. Barea will also be absent for the contest, thus leaving the Mavericks' backcourt fairly bare. Yogi Ferrell should continue seeing heavy minutes at point guard with Seth Curry sliding down from shooting guard at times to relieve him. Williams next chance to return will be Monday against the Nuggets.

Williams is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers, Earl K. Sneed of Mavs.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Mavericks haven't provided clarity on Williams' status following Friday's morning shootaround beyond the doubtful designation, but with no word that the veteran has resumed practicing in the last couple days, it's expected that he'll be sidelined for a fifth straight game. With Devin Harris (illness) missing shootaround and questionable to play Friday, fill-in starter Yogi Ferrell could potentially be in store for a 40-minute workload while the Mavs have little in the way of healthy depth at point guard.

Williams (toe) is questionable to play Wednesday against the 76ers, Earl K. Sneed of Mavs.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams could potentially miss his fourth straight game with a left big toe sprain he suffered Wednesday against the Knicks. If Williams is held out, expect Devin Harris to snag the start at point guard and share extended minutes with Seth Curry. With Pierre Jackson released, Yogi Ferrell could also see some minutes as backup to Harris and Curry.

Williams (toe) will be out for the Mavericks' next two games, Earl K. Sneed of the Mavericks' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams is still unable to put any pressure on his injured left great toe, so he'll be sidelined for Sunday's contest against the Spurs along with Monday's tilt versus the Cavaliers. Expect Devin Harris to see an expanded role during Williams' absence, along with newcomer Yogi Ferrell at the point.

Williams (toe) did not travel with the team for Thursday's matchup in Oklahoma City, Dwain Price of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams sprained his left big toe after just 16 minutes of action Monday, and the ailment will cost him at least one game. With fellow ball handler J.J. Barea (calf strain) not making the trip either, look for Devin Harris to see a mild boost in playing time. Williams will next have a chance to take the court in another road matchup Sunday in San Antonio.
