The Celtics will reportedly get a familiar face back on the court on Friday.
Robert Williams is slated to make his debut in the 2022 season when Boston faces the Magic, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania. On Sept. 23, before the season, Williams elected to undergo arthroscopic surgery to remove the loose bodies and address swelling in his left knee, the same one he injured during the latter part of the 2021-22 season.
ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski previously reported that Williams’s surgery was considered more of a “clean-up” procedure. At one point, Williams was slated to return to the hardwood in four to six weeks, but Boston later announced that he would resume basketball activities in eight to 12 weeks, putting him at a timetable of the middle of November or the middle of December as a projected return date.
