Brian Cole, MD, acting chair of orthopedic surgery at Rush University in Chicago, has operated on Charlotte Hornets center Grant Williams, according to a Dec. 11 report from Sports Illustrated.
Mr. Williams suffered a knee injury earlier in the basketball season during a game against the Milwaukee Bucks.
He later discovered that he had a torn ACL and meniscus. He was ruled out for the season, and just underwent surgery to repair his knee.
Mr. Williams is not expected to be back until at least next season, and he may be out for the first portion of the year, according to the report.
