"Hopefully, Terrence Williams enjoys his Thanksgiving holiday tomorrow.

Friday, the Nets' second-year guard will have to deal with the ramifications of his undisciplined behavior.

Nets coach Avery Johnson said last night he will announce tomorrow what the Nets intend to do with Williams, who was punished by being deactivated for the last two games because of repeated violations of team policy.

"Billy (King, the Nets' GM) and I are discussing where we are there, and we've been in contact with Terrence and his representatives,'' Johnson said before the Nets took on the Celtics at TD Garden. "We have a couple of options available to us? I will have an answer for you on Friday - a definitive answer. No sugarcoating it; no grey area. We will have an answer.''

Johnson said a suspension of Williams, who did not make the trip to Boston with the team, is "not one of the options that we've discussed.'' He did say that one of the options is simply bringing Williams back on the active roster after his two-game punishment.

So if suspension is not being considered and reinstating Williams is, what other options are there? Well, Williams could be waived, or traded or fined. But Johnson said Tuesday that the team had fined Williams before, and that had not corrected the problem. One other option, of course, would be to simply leave Williams on the inactive list indefinitely."
