| Player Notes |
| December 15, 2006 Jason Williams was given Friday night off to rest his nagging leg injury, the AP reports. Pat Riley also didn't want to have Williams play in back-to-back games this weekend; the veteran guard is expected to dress for Saturday's home game with Memphis. |
| December 11, 2006 Jason Williams practiced yesterday and is aiming to play tonight, according to the Miami Herald. J-Will missed Friday's game as a precaution to rest his surgically repaired knee. |
| December 9, 2006 Jason Williams was held out of Friday's game as a precaution, according to the Sun-Sentinel. J-Will still is recovering from his knee surgery and probably will be rested from time to time to stay fresh. |
| November 28, 2006 Jason Williams started Monday but played just eight minutes, the AP reports. Williams is coming back slowly from knee surgery. |
| November 25, 2006 Heat coach Pat Riley said that Jason Williams will not play in both games when the Heat play on consecutive days until his surgically repaired knee is up to the task, according to the Miami Herald. J-Will sat out yesterday but should be in the mix today. "He wanted to play [Friday]," Riley said. "But I wanted him for [tonight]. I don't think I'm going to play him back-to-backs." |
| November 23, 2006 Jason Williams sat out Wednesday's game after struggling with pain in his surgically-repaired knee on Tuesday, according to the Miami Herald. "I think my mind was telling me it was wanting me to be ready, but my legs aren't ready," Williams said. "I don't think my quad is strong enough yet. I need to get it stronger." |
| November 22, 2006 Coach Pat Riley is trying to work Jason Williams, who underwent knee surgery in July, back slowly, according to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. "He's not 100 percent as far as his rhythm and all his stuff," Riley said. "I think we'll just keep the continuity going. I can get him in earlier -- so maybe keep working that until it runs its course, and then get him back in there." |
| November 17, 2006 On the same day the Heat lost Shaq for the foreseeable future, Jason Williams made his season debut. J-Will had been out while recovering from knee surgery. He came off the bench to score eight points in 18 minutes. The Heat will ease him back in, but he will replace Gary Payton at the point eventually. |
| November 16, 2006 Jason Williams practiced again Wednesday, and it remains possible that he'll return from his knee surgery on Friday or Saturday, according to the Miami Herald. "He went through the whole practice, and most of the practice was really dedicated to his work," coach Pat Riley said. "He endured it real well." The Heat likely will work J-Will back into the mix slowly at first. |
| November 15, 2006 Jason Williams wasn't quite ready to return from his knee surgery on Tuesday, according to the Miami Herald. J-Will and coach Pat Riley agreed that the point guard needed at least a few more practices to get into game shape. His status for games Friday and Saturday are uncertain. |
| November 14, 2006 Jason Williams had an excellent practice on Monday, and he could see some action tonight against the Nuggets, according to the Miami Herald. "He played the entire scrimmage [Monday] and made our team look a lot different," coach Pat Riley said. "He plays the game differently. I don't know how that's going to translate to the court during a game, because he hasn't played for six months. But he did a lot of things [Monday] to make our offense look a lot better, so we'll just see what happens." Williams has been recovering from knee surgery. |
| November 11, 2006 It looks like Jason Williams won't be ready for game action until the end of the month, according to the Sun-Sentinel. "Jason hasn't played since June," said coach Pat Riley. "Jason needs practice. He needs a week, two weeks of real hard practices." |
| November 10, 2006 Jason Williams resumed practicing Thursday, Pat Riley told the AP. Williams underwent surgery July 21 to repair a partial tear of his right patella tendon. The plan all along has been for Williams to return to game action at some point in the middle of November. |
| October 17, 2006 Jason Williams, who is recovering from July knee surgery, has been running wind sprints but hasn't been cleared to practice, according to the Miami Herald. "We hope by the end of October he'll start getting in certain drills," coach Pat Riley said. Williams has said he hopes to be ready for game action by mid-November. |
| October 3, 2006 Jason Williams, who is recovering from offseason knee surgery, doubts he'll be ready for the start of the regular season, according to the Florida Sun-Sentinel. "Hopefully I will be ready in the middle of November," Williams said. He started running about two weeks ago, and so far he has experienced no swelling or pain in the knee. |
| September 27, 2006 Jason Williams won't be ready for the start of training camp as he recovers from arthroscopic knee surgery, and it's possible that he won't be ready for the season opener on October 31, according to the Florida Sun-Sentinel. "I have had that same surgery, so I know how sore it gets," coach Pat Riley said. "You definitely don't want to come in here and kill him and then he's back to where he was. We're going to let him get all the way back. I'm not going to mess around with Jason at all until he's 100 percent." |
| June 26, 2006 As expected, Jason Williams will undergo arthroscopic surgery soon to alleviate the right knee tendinitis that bothered him for most of the season, according to the Miami Herald. |
| June 13, 2006 Jason Williams is expected to undergo knee surgery when the playoffs conclude, according to the Miami Herald. "That's the plan," said Williams. "If I have to, I have to. If it's not going to hurt after that, then it's all good." Williams' recovery is expected to take eight weeks. |
| April 14, 2006 Shut down due to knee tendinitis, Jason Williams could play on Sunday, according to the AP. However, it's not clear whether he would start or how much he might play. |
| April 14, 2006 Jason Williams hasn't played since April 1 due to right knee tendinitis but hopes to return to play in two regular season games before the start of the playoffs, according to the Miami Herald. Heat coach Pat Riley is considering it. |
| April 6, 2006 The Heat have decided to shut down Jason Williams until the playoffs due to his knee tendinitis, according to the Miami Herald. Gary Payton will continue starting at the point in place of J-Will. |
| April 5, 2006 Jason Williams remained sidelined Tuesday by his knee tendinitis, according to the Miami Herald. |
| April 2, 2006 Jason Williams missed Sunday's game with tendinitis in his knees. |
| February 13, 2006 Jason Williams played Sunday without his two middle fingers taped together for the first time since cutting his ring finger in January, according to the Miami Herald. Williams played only 23 minutes - none in the fourth quarter - as coach Pat Riley used Gary Payton to defend Chauncey Billups during their comeback win over Detroit. |
| February 10, 2006 Jason Williams, who has been playing with a lacerated ring finger on his right hand, was scheduled to have the stitches taken out after Thursday's game, according to the Miami Herald. |
| February 9, 2006 Jason Williams will have the stitches removed from his finger today and probably will ditch his splint for tonight's game, according to the Sun-Sentinel. He's struggled to shoot well with the splint, so this should help. |
| February 4, 2006 Heat coach Pat Riley said Jason Williams will continue to back up Gary Payton until Williams' lacerated finger is better, according to the Miami Herald. "I'm going to probably continue to stay with Gary [as the starter] until [Williams] gets back and really comfortable," Riley said. |
| February 2, 2006 Jason Williams returned to action on Thursday after missing four games with a lacerated finger. He had four points and eight assists in 26 minutes. |
| February 2, 2006 The Heat consider Jason Williams to be questionable for tonight's game due to his lacerated finger, according to the Sun-Sentinel. |
| February 1, 2006 Jason Williams won't have the stitches removed from his right ring finger until next Sunday, but it's possible he could play with a protective device over the stitches in the meantime, according to the Miami Herald. However, the digit also is bruised, so it doesn't seem likely he'll be back quickly. |
| January 30, 2006 Jason Williams, who is out with a cut on his right ring finger, missed his 15th game of the season against the Clippers on Monday night, according to the AP. |
| January 30, 2006 Jason Williams missed his third straight game Sunday. It's unclear when he will return from his lacerated finger, but it likely won't be for this evening's game, according to the Miami Herald. |
| January 29, 2006 Jason Williams could remain out of action Sunday due to his cut finger, according to the Sun-Sentinel. |
| January 28, 2006 Jason Williams missed his second straight game on Friday because of a laceration on his ring finger, according to the AP. |
| January 26, 2006 Jason Williams cut his right ring finger while lifting weights Wednesday and required six stitches to repair the gash, according to the AP. He was unable to play on Thursday. |
| January 15, 2006 Jason Williams was held out of Saturday's game due to his knee tendinitis. |
| January 9, 2006 Jason Williams returned from his knee tendinitis on Sunday. The condition is expected to be a problem all season long, so Heat coach Pat Riley said he plans to significantly limit WIlliams' practices, according to the Miami Herald. |
