The presence of big man Robert Williams III has been palpable on the court in the Boston Celtics‘ East finals series with the Miami Heat so far, the Celtics looking like a much better version of themselves when he has been able to play. Williams has been playing through lingering discomfort in the knee he had operated on to repair a torn meniscus in March however and was visibly limping later in Game 4 on Monday.
Speaking after practice Tuesday, Celtics head coach Ime Udoka related that the Texas A&M product “coped with” the discomfort “well last night” noting you “never know until the next day or two” how his knee will respond.
