Portland Trail Blazers guard Mo Williams will not play Saturday night’s playoff game against the visiting San Antonio Spurs because of a groin injury, according to Comcast SportsNet Northwest.

Williams, the Blazers’ backup point guard, played just nine minutes in Game 2 and scored four points. Earl Watson will likely take Williams’ spot in the rotation off the bench.

Williams is averaging 7.4 points on 37.4 percent shooting and 1.9 assists in 23.4 minutes in the playoffs. He is shooting just 23.8 percent from 3-point range.

The Spurs lead the Western Conference semifinals series 2-0.
