Lou Williams injury looked serious as soon as he went down clutching his knee during last night's game at Barclays Center against the Nets. The point guard stumbled to the entrance of the players tunnel where he lay in pain for a number of minutes before leaving in a wheelchair. Now it's been revealed that Williams suffered a torn ACL and will miss the rest of the season according to an Atlanta Hawks press release.

From the release:

Hawks guard Lou Williams experienced a right knee sprain during Atlanta’s game last night at Brooklyn. X-rays taken during the game at the Barclays Center were negative. An MRI and examination today by Dr. Michael Bernot at Peachtree Orthopedics in Atlanta revealed a tear to his anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee.

"We are extremely disappointed for Lou and our thoughts and support will be with him during his recovery," said President of Basketball Operations and General Manager Danny Ferry. "He has been a complete professional in every sense of the word and know that approach, along with his work ethic, will serve him well in his rehabilitation."

Williams will now undergo a period of rest before having surgery to repair the injury at a date to be determined. He will miss the remainder of the season and a timetable for his recovery will be announced following surgery.
