Williams will not play in Saturday's game against the Hawks and is doubtful for Monday's tilt with the Magic due to posterior right ankle inflammation, Chris Haynes of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

With Kyrie Irving and Iman Shumpert out as well, the Cavaliers were already thin in the backcourt. Williams only adds to the mounting injuries and he'll likely sit out for the next two contests, as he continues to recover from posterior right ankle inflammation and general soreness. With Williams sidelined, look for Matthew Dellavedova to move into the starting lineup, while J.R. Smith, Jared Cunningham and Richard Jefferson will all likely see extended minutes.
