Insight: Williams said the injury remindeded him of when he tore a ligament in his thumb in 2008, requiring offseason surgery. "It's the same feeling," Williams said. "I'm just crossing my fingers that the MRI is negative." The Jazz said Saturday that the team is still deciding if the MRI will take place Sunday in Orlando or once the team returns to Utah. He's doubtful to play Sunday against the Magic. Jamaal Tinsley and Earl Watson will handle PG duties, with Tinsley serving as a decent add for assist-needy fantasy owners.
