A Bulls spokesman said the club will not reveal the exact nature of the injuries until the extent of Williams' injuries are determined. ESPN's Ric Bucher reports that Williams suffered leg and pelvic bone injuries, and The Associated Press is reporting that Williams broke his leg. The team won't verify those reports.

"He's OK, but to the extent of the leg injury, we don't want to speculate,'' Bulls spokesman Tim Hallam said.

Williams' father, David, said his son was expected to be in surgery for three or four hours.

No citations were issued as a result of the accident. Team spokesman Brandon Faber said Jay Williams recently bought the motorcycle.

Williams, the second overall pick in the 2002 NBA draft, averaged 9.5 points and 4.7 assists in a somewhat rocky rookie season. At times, the former Duke star clashed with Bulls coach Bill Cartwright over the restrictions imposed by the triangle offense.

Recently, the Chicago Sun-Times reported that Williams, 21, might start in the backcourt next season with Jamal Crawford, the Bulls' other point guard.

Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.
