BOSTON - Deron Williams will make his debut for the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday night at the TD Garden against the Boston Celtics.
"Excited," Williams said at the Cavs morning shootaround in preparation for Celtics, their closest competition in the Eastern Conference standings. "I'm ready to get out there and play with these guys. Got a chance to get familiar with things yesterday in practice and so I'm ready to go tonight."
Williams signed with the Cavs on Monday after being waived by the Dallas Mavericks. He will become the team's primary point guard behind Kyrie Irving, a position Cleveland has struggled to fill since Matthew Dellavedova signed with the Milwaukee Bucks in the offseason.
