East Rutherford, NJ (Sports Network) - New Jersey forward Shawne Williams had
successful left foot surgery on Wednesday, the Nets announced in a release.
He will miss the remainder of the 2011-12 season.
The surgery was performed by Dr. Martin O'Malley and Nets team physician
Dr. Riley Williams III at the Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan. The
procedure involved inserting three screws to repair an old fracture and
removing two small bone fragments.
The Nets expect Williams to make a full recovery prior to the start of
training camp next season.
The former first-round pick appeared in 25 contests this season, starting
six, and averaged 4.5 points and 2.7 rebounds per game.
