Ramping up for regular season

Williams (foot) has discontinued the use of his walking boot and will be reevaluated prior to the start of the regular season, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis

Williams sustained a strained tendon in his left foot prior to the preseason, but he is progressing well and could return for Opening Night. The 22-year-old has yet to play 50 games in a single regular season, and through two seasons he has averaged 10.8 points, 8.4 rebounds and 1.9 combined steals plus blocks across 23.0 minutes per game in 62 total regular-season appearances.
