Mavs Announce Williams' Surgery
Thursday, June 9
Per Earl K. Sneed of Mavs.com, citing the Dallas Mavericks' public relations, Williams had sports hernia surgery on Thursday.
Williams was banged up during the Mavs' playoff series against Oklahoma City. He missed Game 3 due to an abdomen injury. ESPN's Tim MacMahon noted the former All-Star was "in excruciating pain" during Dallas' Game 2 victory.
The 31-year-old Williams was playing through a sports hernia that has plagued him since the end of March and caused him to miss eight games, but he was able to stave off surgery until now. He looked effective early in the Game 2 win over Oklahoma City, scoring 13 points and dishing out five assists in 26 minutes.
