Williams (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Hawks, Cleveland.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams was back in Cleveland over the weekend undergoing further evaluations on his left knee, which has been sore since last week's matchup with the Pacers. Williams is meeting with the renowned Dr. James Andres on Monday, and an update is expected after the visit.

Williams (knee) played 13 minutes in Saturday's 107-93 victory over the Knicks, accruing eight points (3-6 FG, 2-2 3Pt), two assists, two rebounds, and a steal.

EDGE Analysis

It marked Williams' first appearance since Feb. 24, as a bout with knee soreness kept him sidelined for just over a month. As the Cavs' third-string point guard, Williams won't see the court most nights, as he was likely only used Saturday because regular starter Kyrie Irving (rest) was sitting out.

Williams (knee) will play around 10-to-12 minutes in Saturday's game against the Knicks, Jason Lloyd of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kyrie Irving (rest) is getting the night off for the second half of a back-to-back set, so Williams will make his first appearance for the Cavaliers since suffering a knee injury in late February. Matthew Dellavedova will get the start at point guard, but look for Williams to serve as his primary backup.

Williams will be available Thursday against the Nets, Mike Mazzeo of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams has not played in exactly a calendar month while battling soreness in his left knee. He's unlikely to take on a major role off the bench in his first game back, but with an uninspiring Nets team on the schedule, Williams could see some run in the second half, should the Cavaliers build a significant lead. The goal, as it has been all along, is to have Williams at full strength once the postseason rolls around.

Williams (knee) could return to game action as soon as Thursday against the Nets, George Thomas of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams, who has been sidelined since Feb. 24 with left knee soreness, returned to full-contact practice Tuesday. The Cavaliers will likely want to observe Williams a little longer in practices before allowing him to play again, so he figures to remain out for Wednesday's tilt with the Bucks. If he endures no setbacks in the next day or two, Williams could be called upon to suit up in the second half of the Cavs' back-to-back set Thursday, but don't expect him to see meaningful court time in such a scenario. He's third on the depth chart at point guard behind starter Kyrie Irving and Matthew Dellavedova.

Williams (knee) returned to basketball activities Monday but is yet to be cleared for full contact, Chris Haynes of the Plain Dealer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams has been out since late-February with a left knee issue, but he looks to be nearing a return, which falls in line with the Cavaliers' goal of having the veteran available for the postseason. While Williams is yet to be cleared for game action, that step figures to come within the next couple of weeks, barring any sort of setback. Williams will likely find himself in a reduced, specialized role in the postseason as the third point guard behind Kyrie Irving and Matthew Dellavedova.

Williams (knee) is expected to miss "a couple of weeks," per coach Tyronn Lue, Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams has already missed five of the last six games with a nagging left knee issue, and it appears the team is prepared to be without him for at least another two weeks. Lue intimated that Williams would be re-evaluated in mid-March, so the hope is that the veteran is back to 100 percent before the start of the postseason, which seems like an attainable goal.

Williams (knee) will not travel with the Cavaliers for their weekend road trip and will therefore miss the team's next two games.

EDGE Analysis

Williams plans to receive additional treatment on his ailing left knee during his brief upcoming absence. The Cavaliers' rotation won't look much different without Williams, as he's buried behind Kyrie Irving and Matthew Dellavedova on the depth chart. Williams' next chance to return will come Monday against the Pacers.

Williams (knee) played four minutes in Wednesday's 114-103 win over the Hornets, producing no points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and one rebound.

EDGE Analysis

A knee injury prevented Williams from making any appearances since the All-Star break prior to Wednesday's contest, but after Dr. James Andrews determined earlier in the week that Williams was dealing with little more than inflammation, the point guard was cleared to return to action. Though he did see some floor time Wednesday, Williams' standing behind Kyrie Irving and Matthew Dellavedova on the depth chart could result in the 33-year-old failing to get off the bench more often than not.

Williams will be available off the bench Wednesday against the Hornets, Jason Lloyd of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Williams had been dealing with soreness in his left knee, which has nagged him for much of the season, and he even visited with renowned physician Dr. James Andrews on Tuesday. While a visit with Andrews doesn't always bring positive news, Williams appears to have avoided any serious damage to the knee, and he'll be available as an option for Tyronn Lue behind Kyrie Irving and Matthew Dellavedova on Wednesday. Don't expect the veteran to see major minutes, however, as he hasn't topped 16 minutes since late-December.
