Elliot Williams (Achilles) has not had his surgery yet, as it is likely he is waiting for the swelling in his ankle to go down before he goes under the knife. Usually it takes about a week or so for the swelling to completely subside, after which Williams will undergo surgery to repair the Achilles he tore during voluntary workouts on Tuesday. He won't be able to step onto a court for six months post-surgery and will likely take a full year to get back to full strength. Even for those in very deep re-draft leagues, it's safe to cross him off your fantasy draft boards.

Elliot Williams tore his left Achilles during voluntary workouts on Tuesday and will require surgery. It's tough news for Williams who was just cleared for training camp after rehabbing his shoulder injury. The Memphis product will likely be out for the year and he'll have a tough road to recovery.

Elliot Williams (shoulder) is 100 percent and cleared to play in training camp. Williams appeared in just 24 games for the Blazers last season, averaging 3.7 points on 50 percent shooting in just over six minutes per game. He'll try to earn a consistent role in the rotation this season.

Blazers guard Elliot Williams is ahead of schedule in his rehab from shoulder surgery. "I'm actually starting to shoot now," said Williams. "I can pretty much do everything except contact. Not any long range shooting." The No. 22 pick in the 2011 draft, Williams played only six games as a rookie, averaging 3.7 points in six minutes per game.

Elliot Williams (shoulder) is expected to be ready for training camp. Unfortunately, Williams isn't expected to be healthy in time for Summer League, costing him precious time to develop and impress the Blazers' coaching staff. He'll have to fight for a spot in the rotation next year.

Elliot Williams (shoulder surgery) will not be ready to play in summer league. Williams, who underwent surgery in March, has just started dribbling drills as a part of his rehab. Acting GM Chad Buchanan had previously said that Williams could earn a consistent role in the rotation next season, but he's going to have to prove he deserves it before one is simply handed to him.

Blazers GM Chad Buchanan believes that SG Elliot Williams can earn a consistent spot in the rotation next season. Williams once had a 48 inch vertical leap and has since had patella tendon surgery, and the little that we have heard has been relatively positive for Williams coming out of his second year. As the team is constituted right now, he has no clear path to fantasy value, but we'll watch from afar to see if he continues to rise up in the ranks.

Elliot Williams (shoulder) is about a month away from shooting a basketball. Williams continues to rehab his shoulder as he works his way back from surgery. Williams will go to Las Vegas for summer league, but he's not sure if he'll be able to play. He's got a lot to prove next season.

Elliot Williams returned to action on Thursday March 22.
