The team said the oft-injured Williamson had medical imaging on Saturday morning to confirm the injury and that further updates would be appropriately provided.

This continues a trend for the No. 1 overall pick in the 2019 NBA draft and two-time All-Star, as he has dealt with numerous injuries during his career, having missed games this year with the hamstring injury and an illness.

He has also dealt with foot, quad and knee issues, limiting him to 190 games played in his five seasons, although he played a career-high 70 games last season.

Williamson, 24, signed a five-year, $197 million contract extension in 2022, but reportedly, the final three years of that deal are not guaranteed, with provisions built into the contract concerning games played and his struggles with conditioning. He is making $36.7 million this season.
