Deron Williams releases a statement on his emergency return to Salt Lake

"I would like to thank Mrs. Miller, Greg Miller and Coach Sloan for allowing me to return to Utah to be with my wife and children today. Yesterday, one of my daughters underwent a procedure in the hospital to address some health concerns. There are still unanswered questions and the doctors have been running more in-depth tests throughout the day today. My daughter’s health is very important to my wife and I and it is important I remain in Salt Lake City as we monitor the situation. We both appreciate the support of the fans, the Jazz organization and my teammates. I will return to the court as soon as possible."

Scary stuff for sure. Thoughts and prayers for Deron's daughter and their family.

Agreed

Nothing worse than worrying about a kid. The stuff on the court is just a game. Dwill, take whatever time is needed. We’re behind you. Props to the Org. for putting family first.

would rather see their favorite team go win-less then see one of the players suffer a tragedy to their child. So DWill could and should take all the time off needed, and everyone will understand. Best wishes.
