Blazers C Robert Williams III undergoes knee surgery

Portland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III underwent successful right knee surgery.

The surgery was performed Monday by Dr. Walt Lowe at Memorial Hermann Surgery Center in Houston to reconstruct a torn ligament in Williams’ right knee, according to the Blazers.

Williams went down with a patellar dislocation in a 112-100 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on Nov. 5.

The team said he is expected to recover fully in time for the 2024-25 season.

Williams, 26, was acquired from the Boston Celtics with Malcolm Brogdon in the Jrue Holiday trade on Oct. 1. He averaged 6.8 points and 6.3 rebounds in six games off the bench this season.

A second-team All-NBA Defensive selection after the 2021-22 season, Williams has averaged 7.3 points and 6.9 rebounds in 215 career games (97 starts) with the Celtics and Trail Blazers. He was selected by Boston with the 27th overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft.
