效力騎士的Mo Williams早前突然回心轉意,四日後向傳媒宣佈退出球壇,原來整場「鬧劇」竟是另有內情。有傳這位老將對球隊為了希望他來季續任Kyrie Irving的後備,而不讓他根治其左膝蓋傷患的做法非常不滿。一怒之下,憤然宣佈退役,並暗示不滿球隊對他的身體狀況漠不關心。
33歲的Williams在上月接受ESPN訪問時,便自爆左膝蓋的問題經已纏住達四年之久,令他萌生去意。而上季更是全靠注射血小板血漿的治療,才能完成整個球季。儘管球隊軍醫表示其傷患可以靠藥物和治療痊癒,但日前他還是未有理會軍醫的建議,決定接受手術治療。並且在社交網上留言狠批沒有人關心他的健康狀況,矛頭直指向效力的球隊騎士。
然而最令人稱奇的是,雖然Williams退役之意已決,但原來他至今仍未向聯盟呈交所需的文件。而球會方面亦曾嘗試過買斷其價值220萬美元的合同,但最後因談判未有達成共識而不得要領。換言之,Williams目前還沒有正式退休,嚴格來說他仍受僱於騎士,並且可以為球隊上陣。
引用Both the Cavaliers' team physician, Dr. Richard Parker, and another doctor consulted for a second opinion concluded that Williams' knee did not require surgery, a league source told ESPN. Williams sought a third opinion on his own, which led to Wednesday's procedure, said the source.
...
Williams is still occupying a roster spot with the Cavaliers despite the fact that Williams' agent informed Cavs general manager David Griffin the morning of the team's media day last month that the 33-year-old point guard planned on retiring.
Curiously, Williams has yet to file the necessary paperwork to retire in the weeks that have followed. The Cavs have attempted to negotiate a buyout for Williams' $2.2 million contract for the 2016-17 season, a league source told ESPN, without having reached a resolution thus far.
雖然如此,騎士一於少理,早已為這位去季奪標的功臣之一尋找替代者,並屬意2016年NBA選秀大會上,以第54名選下的5尺9寸新秀Kay Felder,來季擔任Irving的後備工作。Williams的種種舉動令人摸不著頭腦,到底他真有感意興闌珊,抑或只是一時以氣,相信只有他心裡才知道答案。
