Deron Williams underwent successful surgery on both ankles on Tuesday May 27th.
The surgery was performed by Nets’ foot and ankle specialist, Dr. Martin O’Malley.
“The arthroscopic surgery performed today on Deron’s left ankle included the removal of spurs from the front and back of the ankle, as well as a cleaning out of his ankle joint,’ said Dr. O’Malley. “In addition, Deron underwent a procedure on his right ankle to remove a loose bone fragment that was below his right ankle joint. Deron is expected to be on crutches for 4-6 weeks and then begin rehabilitation. He is scheduled to begin light court activities in August, which will progress to full basketball activities in September. Deron is expected to make a full recovery and be ready for the beginning of training camp.”
Williams appeared in 64 games this season, averaging 14.3 points, 6.1 assists per game.
