New Jersey Nets guard Deron Williams will miss at least three games because of an injured right wrist.
Nets coach Avery Johnson said the wrist will be re-evaluated after Williams sits out those games.
"It's something that we know: rest — not surgery — is required," Johnson said. "We'll treat him. We'll rest him."
Williams missed Sunday's game at Washington and will not play in Monday's game with Indiana and Wednesday's at Cleveland.
Johnson says he doesn't want to shut down Williams for the rest of the year.
