| Williams will play Sunday | Saturday 5/3, 7:33 PM CT |
|
Hawks forward Marvin Williams (knee) said he's ready to play in Game 7 of the first-round playoff series with Boston on Sunday afternoon, this according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
"I'm good," Williams said Saturday afternoon. "I ready to go. This is Game 7, man. Nobody wants to miss Game 7 of anything." The team is calling his injury, a left knee strain.
Our View: Williams will play through the knee injury. Afterall, this is his chance to be part of an eight seed taking out a number-one seed, a once in a lifetime opportunity. |

| Williams doubtful for Sunday | Saturday 5/3, 10:16 AM CT |
|
Atlanta forward Marvin Williams left last night's exciting win over the Boston Celtics, forcing a Game 7 in the opening-round NBA playoff series, with what appeared to be a left leg injury. Team doctors have reported their diagnosis as a strained left knee and his status for Sunday's final series game is listed as doubtful.
Our View: Williams left the game early in the 4th quarter, but he later returned in the final seconds for his defensive prowess. The listing of "doubtful" means little to nothing today, for the injury sounds minor and it is hard to imagine Williams won't be on the court for Game 7. We will update as news comes forth. |
