A few days after wondering about the upcoming season of Robert Williams III among the Blazers, we now know where it starts: in the infirmary… Which is unfortunately usual for the pivot, who had knee surgery in November 2023.
Affected in the hamstrings during training camp, the former Celtics player will be absent for two weeks, until the last days before the start of the regular season. Portland opens its 2024/25 fiscal year on Wednesday, October 23, against the Warriors.
“The positive aspect is that, at least, it has nothing to do with his knee”, comments, relieved, Chauncey Billups. “In my opinion, when you haven't played for that long and you start pushing, then you are prone to injuries. It's a shame, but it's still positive. »
Let's hope for Robert Williams III that this isn't the start of trouble because with competition from Deandre Ayton and Donovan Clingan, the door won't stay open for long. “He’s doing well. He was fine the first day and didn't train on Thursday because he was feeling some pain.”continues his coach.
