"MEMPHIS, Tennessee - The struggling Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday placed point guard Jason Williams on the injured list with a sprained right ankle.

Williams, who did not play in Saturday's game against Orlando, will miss at least the next five games.

The Grizzlies' starting point guard, Williams is averaging 9.3 points and 5.6 assists in 16 games this season.

Earl Watson will start while Williams is sidelined."

Fantasy Impact

I just checked in my league and Watson has already been picked up. With him averaging 8.2 pts and 5.2 assists it's not a bad pick-up. Check him out if you're not in a super-intense psycho league where people don't hesitate to pick up Christian Laettner after he scores 23 points in a game.
