Things just cannot seem to go right for Raptors guard Alvin Williams, who has a degenerative knee with almost no cartilage between the bones, causing them to painfully rub together when he moves. The problem has been an ongoing one for Williams, and while the season hasn't even started the Raptors have to wonder how their point guard is going to get through.
"I don't know what's going to happen, to be honest with you," he said. "I don't know. Right now I'm just trying to get my leg right and try and be healthy."
But if he doesn't get his leg right, and can't be healthy? Then what?
"That's not an option," Williams replied. "I guess I could get surgery. But I don't know. Right now the ambition is to get my leg strong so hopefully the pain will go away."
He was asked if he ever thought about retiring: "No. No, man."
