Robert Williams, aka "Timelord"

Happy to hear that the surgery went well.

A little statistical nugget while we wait for his return. Timelord shot 72.2% from the line this season which is by far a career best (previously 64.7). Since January 1st, he is all the way up to 83.3% which compares favorably with guys like Jokic (83.4), Towns (82.5) and Embiid (81.9).

In case you were wondering GOAT shooter Payton Pritchard hasn't missed from the line since May 12th, 2021.

They did a partial menisectomy, it’s an incredibly common surgery. They took out a small piece of the meniscus, and cleaned up the surrounding area.

He will be fine lol.

There has to be enough blood flow to a tear to repair it. Do we know he made a choice?

I’d assume the doctor made the choice, and Rob/his agent had input.

If I were Rob, about the only thing I would have made clear to them would have been that the long term health of my knee was the priority, without consideration for how quickly it would allow him to return to the court. If luck had it that the early return procedure also had the best prognosis, then great.

So just get past the first round and the championship parade is still on?

We’re gold.

Also insulting to the surgeon, whose code of ethics obligates him to ensure that Rob was able to provide informed consent for the procedure.

Rob took one for the team, by electing to have the Lesser Surgery. There are lingering affects to that.

He may have to go for the Full Surgery, later on.
Apparently he really wants to get back for this Playoff Run, and help his team out.

From what I read on Twitter, sometimes the meniscus can't be repaired and removing it is the only option. Wonder if he chose to go for the quick recovery or if it was the only option.

I only read medical advice from Twitter, Facebook, and sport teams message boards. (no offense)

Who Fing cares what the Dr. said !

This was always the logical thing to assume. Idk why some people immediately assumed takes that were clearly far less likely to be true. Even with no knowledge on the procedure I thought it was the common sense assumption to make and not, "Rob took the worst procedure and went against the advice of the doctors to come back for the playoffs".

maybe Brad can add a year or 2 to his current deal with incentives... bc of his congenital circumstances he has a 2-6 yr window at most

lets get that ring now and then get him set up to be compensated moving forward

CBA doesn't allow for 6 year deals.
In any case it would be a really bad trade off to risk your entire career for a year or two more guaranteed money. Can you imagine approaching RWill and telling him, bro you'll be out of the league in 6 years anyway, screw your career.

no one has to approach RW or agent in any such manner ...his medicals are very much common knowledge and his career outlook is mostly set at this point

I am hopeful RW opts to focus on the here and now where possible, first-class Cs will take care of him where possible

From Woj podcast.

"He had the surgery yesterday on that meniscus, and it was really the best-case scenario for Boston that it was not a full tear, it was essentially an injury that is called clipping the meniscus as opposed to doing a repair," Wojnarowski said. "The team is saying four-to-six weeks, my sense is that’s on the conservative side, that there’s real optimism it’s closer to four weeks – maybe even a little less. … The possibility that it’s even less than four weeks is real."
