Portland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III is expected to undergo potentially season ending surgery to repair bone and ligament damage due to a right knee-cap injury.
Williams may also have the option of opting for a smaller cleanup procedure that would likely only side him for two to three months, reports The Athletic.
The 26-year-old big man injured the knee in Sunday’s loss to the Memphis Grizzlies and was taken to the locker room before eventually being ruled out for the rest of the contest. He underwent testing for the injury on Monday.
So far this season Williams has averaged 6.8 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game.
He was acquired by the Trail Blazers earlier this year as part of the blockbuster three-team trade centered around the Boston Celtics acquiring point guard Jrue Holiday from the Milwaukee Bucks.

Williams has struggled to avoid injuries throughout his career and has only played in more than 52 games a season once in his six-year career.
Last season he suited up for only 35 regular season contests for the Celtics while averaging eight points, 8.3 rebounds, and 1.4 blockers per game.
When he actually has been able to step onto the court, Williams has earned a reputation as on of the NBA’s elite rim protectors and was expected to play a key role in providing interior defense for the rebuilding Trail Blazers.
His best season in the league resulted in him being named a member of the All-NBA defensive second-team.
During that season he averaged 10 points, 9.6 rebounds and two blocks a game. It was also the season he spent the most time on the court after playing in 61 games.
