Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: Out at least two weeks
The Trail Blazers announced Friday that Williams experienced a grade 1 left hamstring strain during training camp and he is expected to miss two weeks.
After an injury-plagued 2023-24 campaign that saw Williams make just six appearances, he is already off to a rough start in 204-25. While Williams could return in time for Portland's regular-season opener against Golden State on Oct. 23, hamstring injuries can often linger.

Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: Cleared for training camp
Portland general manager Joe Cronin said Monday that Williams (knee) has been cleared for training camp this week, Sean Highkin of RoseGardenReport.com reports.
Cronin did caution that the team will hold Williams out of some preseason activities, but he anticipates that the center will be ready for the season. Williams is coming off knee surgery and is likely to have some restrictions early on, but he'll have stiff competition for playing time with Deandre Ayton and Donovan Clingan at the center spot.

Trail Blazers' Robert Williams: Receiving interest from Sacramento
The Kings have expressed interest in Williams (knee), Brett Siegel of Clutch Points reports.
The 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.
