Police say after a verbal altercation with a clerk, Williams picked up a computer monitor and chucked it inside the store, causing between $1,200 and $1,300 in damage.

Williams was arrested and taken to the Douglas County Jail, where he posted bond.

He wasn't available to play against the Denver Nuggets on Monday night.

Nets general manager Kiki Vandeweghe said the team was aware of the incident and looking into it.

Williams is averaging 2.5 points in 30 games this year.

The Nets also were without star guard Devin Harris, who sprained his left shoulder Sunday night against the Clippers. Coach Lawrence Frank said Harris will be re-evaluated Tuesday.
