More surgery for Williams
Bulls guard Jay Williams injured his knee and pelvis in addition to breaking his leg in a motorcycle accident, a source close to the player said Sunday.


The source, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity, would not elaborate.


The Chicago Tribune reported Sunday that Williams sustained extensive nerve damage to his left leg and has a torn anterior cruciate ligament. The Tribune also reported that Williams did not have a license to drive a motorcycle in Illinois and had been ticketed three times in the past 2-1/2 years for motor vehicle violations.


The Tribune and the Chicago Sun-Times said Williams underwent surgery Thursday to repair pelvic injuries and he would require multiple operations on his left knee. Both newspapers cited anonymous sources.


Advocate Illinois Masonic Hospital in Chicago would not discuss Williams' condition Sunday.


Earlier, the AP reported, according to its source, that the injuries were severe enough to possibly jeopardize Williams' career.

It also looked as if Jay Williams was going to be involved in a trade by the Bulls before this accident took place.

It's a damn shame, because the kid obviously has talent, even if he had an awful season last year. Plus, he was one of the few young NBA players that seemed to have his head screwed on halfway straight.
