Questions about Cairns' timing of Williams injury
The byline says "Staff Writer" but it has all the hallmarks of Boti's work. This rumour re the timing of Kerry Williams' injury has been going around for a few weeks now, BTW:
If your under-24 player is injured in the pre-season, you must replace him with an under-24.
But, and here's a but of which even Tony Ronaldson would be proud, if your under-24 player is injured during the season, you can replace him with an unrestricted player.
So, miraculously, Williams is activated to play, yet does not hit the court for a single second in Cairns' 20-point win over Gold Coast.
Now, even though it's usually a 12-month injury, Williams is back, allegedly, then suddenly goes down in practice and is out for the year.
The Taipans - coincidentally the club which pushed this under-24 rule vagary - now are looking to bring in Lindsay Tait.

Far be it from me to suggest impropriety but my (e)mail is the NBL has requested an independent medical report on Williams' condition.Adelaide could do worse than grab Lindsay Tait if they made a move on Winder IMO.
Stay tuned.
