Portland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III has encountered a setback in his recovery from knee surgery, suffering a left hamstring strain during training camp. The injury is not related to his previous knee issues, which is a positive sign according to head coach Chauncey Billups.

Williams, who has been actively participating in workouts, will be re-evaluated in two weeks. Despite this minor setback, the team remains optimistic about his return. The Blazers are preparing for their preseason games, with Deandre Ayton expected to start at center in Williams' absence.
