    Elliot Williams hurt!!!!!

    ELLIOT WILLIAMS TO UNDERGO SURGERY FOR TORN LEFT ACHILLES TENDON

    PORTLAND, Ore. – Portland Trail Blazers guard Elliot Williams will need to undergo surgery to repair a torn left Achilles tendon, it was announced today by General Manager Neil Olshey.

    Williams, 23, sustained the injury during voluntary workouts at the team’s Practice Facility on Tuesday. A date for the surgery has not been set.

    During his NBA career, Williams has averaged 3.7 points (50.0% FG), 0.8 rebounds, 0.3 assists, 0.25 steals and 6.2 minutes in 24 games. He played his final game last season on March 7 due to a left shoulder injury suffered during practice that required surgery on March 30. Williams missed the 2010-11 season due to surgeries on both knees.

    A timetable for Williams’ return will be determined following the surgery

    Time to give up on this prospect.

    He's the epitome of injury prone.

    Did Elliott buy Oden's old house or maybe start dating one of his exes? There must be some explanation for this curse.

    Does HCP have a voodoo doll of the players that don't tip him well for his landscaping?

    The Rose Garden ought to be renamed to the 'House of PAIN'

    He had potential as a spark off the bench, sucks for him, but I'm not going to lose any sleep over this.

    Hope he has a speedy recovery.

    He doesn't have a 48" vertical anymore. He'll now have the jumping ability of Sabonis.

    It never fucking stops, does it?

    I'm pretty sure he hadn't lost any athleticism before this injury. Do Achilles injuries usually significantly hinder jumping ability even after it's healed?

    That's my understanding. However, there are many different kinds of treatments.
