Former Bulls guard Jay Williams, whose playing career ended after he suffered in a June, 2003 motorcycle accident, expects to be in an NBA camp this fall.
The former Duke star and 2002 first-round draft pick told the Gary (Ind.) Post-Tribune that he believes he's on schedule to become a competitive player again.
"My body is feeling great," Williams told the Post-Tribune, as quoted in the March 31 Chicago Sun-Times. "I think it's a matter of time. But I'm really taking my time. I don't want to make a horrible mistake and come back too soon. I want to come back and kick some butt. I'm at a junction in my life. Basketball was taken away from me for a year and a half. But it's been a blessing in disguise."
Williams suffered what were believed to be career-ending injuries to his knee and pelvis in the accident. But current Bulls guard Chris Duhon, who played with Williams at Duke, says that Williams is confident he can return to the pro game.
