Portland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III needs to undergo surgery on his right knee that will keep him out for the remainder of the season, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported Friday.
The 26-year-old will reportedly have the procedure early next week. He is expected to be fully recovered for the start of the 2024-2025 campaign.
Williams injured his kneecap during a 112-100 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday. He and his doctors were initially working determine whether the bone and ligament damage caused by the injury could be repaired in a cleanup procedure, according to the Athletic’s Shams Charania.
Last season, Williams required arthroscopic surgery on his left knee while he played for the Boston Celtics.
