Nets backup PG Williams breaks foot, likely out six weeks

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- New Jersey Nets backup point guard Marcus Williams broke a bone in his right foot and will have surgery on Monday.

Nets president Rod Thorn did not know how the second-year pro from Connecticut broke his fifth metatarsal. Williams is expected to be sidelined about six weeks, which will cause him to miss training camp.

Williams played in 79 games as a rookie, averaging 6.8 points and 3.3 assists.
