Deron Williams returns to Jazz after family health issue

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Utah point guard Deron Williams (FSY) says he will play Wednesday when the Jazz host the Toronto Raptors.

Williams returned to practice Monday after missing two games to be with his daughter while she went through medical tests for an undisclosed condition.

Williams says he has no updates on his daughter's health, but does plan to be with the Jazz when they play the Raptors.

Williams left the team halfway through an Eastern Conference road trip last week and returned to Utah. The Jazz beat Philadelphia without Williams on Friday, then lost Saturday at Cleveland.

The Jazz went 1-1 without Williams and were 2-2 on the trip.
