Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: Receiving interest from Sacramento
The Kings have expressed interest in Williams (knee), Brett Siegel of Clutch Points reports.The Portland Trail Blazers drafted Deandre Ayton's backup in Donovan Clingan this summer, so Williams no longer makes a ton of sense on the Portland roster. He will need to show he's healthy before another team will be willing to take the plunge on the oft-injured big man, but getting out of Portland could be good for his fantasy outlook. The Pelicans have also been rumored to be interested in acquiring the Time Lord, and that would be an excellent landing spot for him in terms of fantasy hoops, but to be clear, nothing is imminent on the Williams trade front.

Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: Facing multi-month absence
Williams will require surgery to address bone and ligament damage to his right kneecap, and the center could be sidelined for anywhere from 2-to-3 months to the rest of the season, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.According to Charania, Williams could be headed for season-ending surgery unless he opts for a cleanup procedure, which would still entail a multi-month absence. Williams previously underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee last season and received platelet-rich plasma injections to aid his recovery. Even though Williams' latest injury is to his other knee, it's still yet another discouraging development for his long-term health outlook. With Williams out for at least the 2023 portion of the Portland Trail Blazers' schedule and most likely well beyond that, fantasy managers in most redraft leagues can probably feel comfortable with dropping him.
