Roy Williams doing “a ton of rehab” after knee replacement surgery

CHAPEL HILL

Roy Williams is closer to recovering from the knee replacement surgery he had in late May but it's a process, he said on Tuesday, and he still has a ways to go before he's feeling as strong as he'd like.

“It's not perfect yet,” Williams, the North Carolina coach, said of his right knee. “I'm walking almost without a limp. I don't have the stamina to do my three and a half to five miles (of walking) yet.

“It's still a little discomfort but I'm seven weeks in. Everybody tells me I'm doing great, it's just it's not feeling great for me and I'd like for it to be a lot better a lot quicker, but that's part of the rehab process.
