Philadelphia guard Lou Williams will return to the starting lineup on Tuesday night.

Williams broke his jaw on Nov. 24 against Washington and returned to action earlier than expected on Saturday against the Clippers.

"I hate to sit a guy like Lou Williams who [prior to injury], the last six games or five games, was averaging over 25 points a game," coach Eddie Jordan said. "He didn't lose his job because of not performing. He wanted to come back. That's a good thing."

Williams will start alongside rookie Jrue Holiday as Allen Iverson battles a knee injury.
