rmackman Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 With Zo hurt, Shaq taking days off here and there, and now this!?By Ira Winderman Sun-Sentinel.com Posted April 5 2006, 2:22 PM EDT MIAMI -- Heat coach Pat Riley said at Wednesday's practice that point guard Jason Williams will sit out the balance of the regular season due to tendinitis in his right knee.Riley said the hope is to have Williams back for the April 22 start of the postseason, and then have the injury dealt with surgically in the offseason. Riley said there were no signs of a knee injury when the team dealt guard Eddie Jones to Memphis in the offseason for Williams and forward James Posey.Riley said he would use Gary Payton, Derek Anderson, and, at times, Dwyane Wade at point guard to fill the void.Riley said the team also may add another point gaurd, although that would require the team to make a roster cut.

WSU151 Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 He's out for the rest of the regular season, which really doesn't mean much. The Heat has locked up one of the top three seeds, though I don't know they could've held off the Nets even with Jason in the lineup. Being a two or three seed won't make much of a difference in the playoffs, especially in the East. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

HowBoutThemFins Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 I'm pretty certain that this doesn't mean anything. Why would they risk his injury getting worse in a handful meaningless games? Sitting him down is a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
