Cavaliers' Derrick Williams: Expected to play Saturday vs. Clippers

Coach Tyronn Lue said that Williams (quad) should be able to play Saturday against the Clippers, Joe Vardon of Cleveland.com reports.

The Cavaliers will presumably reevaluate Williams at morning shootaround Saturday before making a formal declaration on his status, but it sounds like the bruised right quadriceps that sidelined him for Thursday's win over the Jazz isn't too serious. However, with Kevin Love (knee) returning from a long absence Thursday, the Cavaliers have less of a need for their depth options at power forward, so it wouldn't be surprising if Williams was squeezed out of the rotation Saturday.
