Monty Williams is uncertain whether he'll exercise a $1 million option to return to the Sixers next season.

Knee and shoulder injuries limited Williams to 21 games this season. ''It's something I've got to talk to [coach Larry Brown] about,'' Williams said. ''I need to figure out whether I fit in, I need to know what he thinks. I know my injuries really stopped me from being part of the puzzle.''

Monty Williams - F - Pelicans

GM Billy King said he will talk to Monty Williams today about possibly sitting out the rest of the season.

Williams has been hampered by lingering left knee problems. After months on the injured list, he was activated Feb. 19 but the knee is still giving him problems. The Sixers are considering petitioning the NBA for medical exceptions for Todd MacCulloch (nerve disorder), Williams, Samuel Dalembert (knee) and second-round pick Sam Clancy (knee). An exception would allow the Sixers to sign a player to fill in for an injured player until that person is ready to return. If Tyrone Hill wants to become a Sixer again, they'd welcome him with open arms.
