UNC head coach Roy Williams is scheduled to undergo knee replacement surgery later this month.
Williams has gone through several surgeries over the past few years, on his shoulder and a couple of minor knee operations. But it was clear Williams was struggling with knee pain during the basketball season that ended in the national championship game last month.
Williams told reporters about the scheduled surgery at the ACC Spring Meetings in Florida.
After it was initially reported that Williams would have both knees replaced, UNC officials clarified that Williams would only have surgery to replace his right knee later this month and that “no decision has been made yet whether or not to have the left knee replaced, and if so, when.”
Recovery time following knee replacement surgeries varies among different patients, but Williams said he anticipates being back in action in July during a busy recruiting season.
