Boston Celtics big man Robert Williams III is reportedly feeling well ahead of his appointment to face off with the Golden State Warriors on Friday night for Game 4 of the Celtics 2022 NBA Finals series with the Dubs. Speaking with the media ahead of tipoff, Celtics head coach Ime Udoka related that Timelord’s knee felt “good this morning” at shootaround.
Udoka also related that Williams would as usual test the knee out ahead of the contest, explaining that the Texas A&M product’s playing time has been monitored to try and get the best out of him, but he was not explicitly getting pulled from play because of concern from the team over his knee.
“Keeping him off those longer stretches may be beneficial,” explained the Celtics coach. “It depends how he looks and how he is moving.”

“It was much better in Game 3 than he was in Game 2,” added Udoka. “We’re always kind of watching how he’s moving, (and we’ll) base it off of that.”
On the other side of the court for Game 4, Warriors head coach shared that Stephen Curry went through all of shootaround Friday morning, and was “good to go.”
“He told me he felt good,” the Dubs coach made a point of noting.
