    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'><span id="slt_site"><span id="slt_article">For the next couple of days, Deron Williams' world will be defined by swollen cheeks, a steady diet of milkshakes and a seat on the sidelines at practice.
    The third-year guard sat out the opening day of training camp in Boise, Idaho, on Tuesday and could do the same for much of the Jazz's stay here. Just eating solid food would be a start for Williams, who hasn't done so since having his wisdom teeth pulled Friday.
    "I wouldn't have no energy, even if I did [eat],'' said Williams, whose wisdom teeth were so impacted that a bone graft was necessary as part of the oral surgery.
    Williams had known all summer that his teeth were impacted but only started experiencing discomfort last week, when he went to New York to film a commercial and left with the side of his jaw hurting after he chewed something wrong.
    The Jazz commended Williams for dealing with the problem immediately, rather than costing himself weeks later. Although the Jazz are missing Williams and Carlos Boozer to start camp, coach Jerry Sloan said he wasn't overly concerned this early in the season.</div></span></span></p>
