Former Celtics big man Robert Williams has been bitten by the injury bug once again.
According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the current Trail Blazers center will require right knee surgery and is expected to be sidelined for an extended period of time after suffering an injury during Portland’s loss to Marcus Smart and the Grizzlies on Sunday night.
The Athletic’s Shams Charania added on Monday night that Williams is facing a potential season-ending surgical procedure to repair bone and ligament damage in his right kneecap. Williams could also opt for a “clean-up” surgery that would put him on the shelf for 2-3 months.
