The 30-year-old Williams suffered the injury in Sunday’s game against Miami. He then sat out Monday’s loss to Dallas but returned for four minutes in Wednesday night’s loss to Boston before having to leave the game because of the injury.

Williams had an MRI that revealed a fracture in the left 12th rib.

“Deron reported some soreness above this area over the weekend and as a result underwent imaging studies on Monday, which were negative,” Team physician Riley Williams III said in a statement. “Yesterday during the game, he reported a new onset of symptoms below the prior area of soreness. New imaging studies done today demonstrated the fracture. There is no timetable for his return.”

Williams has played in 32 games this season, averaging 13.9 points, three rebounds, and 6.3 assists per contest.

Williams’ rib will be re-evaluated in a week.
