Now, just under two weeks into the young season, that estimation has been discounted. On Saturday it was announced that the point guard will miss four-to-six weeks, making it that much harder for the undefeated Jazz to keep up their torrid pace.

With the news Williams can say good bye to any hopes he had of participating in Utah's forthcoming five-game road streak.

The three-headed big man monster of Carlos Boozer, Mehmet Okur and Andrei Kirilenko will have to continue to shoulder the load.

The star young PG of the Utah Jazz has hit the jackpot, signing a four-year, $70 million extension with the club that'll keep him in Salt Lake until the 2012 season.

Williams' extension is similar to the one New Orleans point guard Chris Paul agreed to just 10 days ago. Lance Young, Paul's agent, said Paul agreed to a three-year extension with a player's option for a fourth year. The total value of Paul's deal is $68 million.

The third overall pick in the 2005 draft, Williams has steadily increased his output each year and averaged a career-high 18.8 ppg and 10.5 apg last season, finishing third in the league in assists. He also was named to the All-NBA second team and became the third player in NBA history to have 1,500-plus points, 800-plus assists and shoot .500 or better in a single season.
