  • Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: Undergoes successful surgery

    Williams underwent successful surgery Monday to reconstruct a torn ligament in his right knee after he sustained a patellar dislocation and is expected to make a full recovery ahead of the 2024-25 campaign.

    This was expected, but it's encouraging to hear the oft-injured big man's surgery was successful. Williams averaged 6.8 points and 6.3 rebounds in 19.8 minutes per game over his six appearances with the Trail Blazers before suffering the injury. In his stead, Toumani Camara, Moses Brown and Jabari Walker are candidates for increased roles behind starting center Deandre Ayton.

  • Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: Requires season-ending surgery

    Williams (knee) is expected to undergo season-ending surgery in the coming days, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

    Williams sustained a right knee injury Sunday against the Grizzlies, and after evaluating a few different options, the big man will ultimately season-ending surgery to address the matter. He's expected to make a full recovery ahead of the 2024-25 campaign. The 26-year-old averaged 6.8 points and 6.3 rebounds in 19.8 minutes per game over six appearances with his new team before suffering his injury.

  • Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: Facing multi-month absence

    Williams will require surgery to address bone and ligament damage to his right kneecap, and the center could be sidelined for anywhere from 2-to-3 months to the rest of the season, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

    According to Charania, Williams could be headed for season-ending surgery unless he opts for a cleanup procedure, which would still entail a multi-month absence. Williams previously underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee last season and received platelet-rich plasma injections to aid his recovery. Even though Williams' latest injury is to his other knee, it's still yet another discouraging development for his long-term health outlook. With Williams out for at least the 2023 portion of the Trail Blazers' schedule and most likely well beyond that, fantasy managers in most redraft leagues can probably feel comfortable with dropping him.

  • Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: Unavailable Monday

    Williams won't play Monday against the Raptors due to rest, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.
