Jazz guard Deron Williams is expected to return to the court on Wednesday night against the Grizzlies.

"I think that'll help us out," Ronnie Brewer said. "He's our leader, he's our captain. He means a lot to this team. I think guys feed off his intensity. He gets guys involved in the game and he makes it easy for a lot of those guys."

Williams will have missed 13 games assuming his returns on Wednesday night.

The point guard came back for two games earlier this month, only to realize his sprained ankle was not close to full strength.

Jazz coach Jerry Sloan has made it clear to Williams to return only if he is 100 percent.
