Barring a sudden setback, point guard Deron Williams plans to play for the Jazz on Wednesday night against the Grizzlies.
He hasn't played since Nov. 12, when he returned from an ankle injury too soon.
"It is [a relief]," Williams said. "Obviously, I want to play. I've never been out this long. Even when I broke my jaw in college, I wasn't out this long."

New York's chances of landing LeBron James in the summer of 2010 will hinge on whether or not they will be able to sign another star player.
Carlos Boozer will become a free agent this summer and the Knicks could have room to sign him if they deal Eddy Curry before February's deadline.
"It's a realistic concern," a league executive said of New York's ability to land another star to help LeBron. "It's more improbable than likely. I think a lot of people have to start taking LeBron at his word when he says money and marketing are not the most important factors. He's got to be contending for a championship. He can't come in and resurrect everything alone. It wouldn't be any different situation than he is in Cleveland. He wants to be Kobe (Bryant) and Michael (Jordan) and have all those rings."
