The Boston Celtics will be at nearly full strength in their Game 7 showdown with the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday afternoon with news of positive developments on the health front for the team breaking. Celtics head coach Ime Udoka revealing that big man Robert Williams III will be available to the team after missing several games due to swelling and discomfort in a knee operated on for a meniscal tear in March and aggravated by a collision with Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo in Game 3.
“He’s available to play,” related Udoka at the team’s pre-game press conference. “He hasn’t done a whole lot of basketball activities in the last week. It’s more so managing the pain; as I mentioned, strucuturally, he’s okay.”
“He’s available to go, he won’t start, and we’ll go with our normal rotation in the last week’s games with him being out, and we’ll use him if needed,” added the Celtics coach.
