The Arizona Wildcats have shut down Brandon Williams for two more games, and perhaps even more, so he can rest his right knee.
It’s a cautious approach considering the Wildcats had a big game last Thursday at ASU and another one this Thursday against first-place Washington, but a sensible one.
Williams’ right knee is the one he had surgically repaired in high school to correct a congenital disorder called osteochondritis dissecans. So when it flared up during the UCLA game on Jan. 26, the Wildcats decided to prioritize Williams’ long-term health above all else.
