In the Boston Celtics’ Game 1 win over the Atlanta Hawks in the first round of the 2023 NBA playoffs on Saturday evening, center Robert Williams III was looking quite spry, prompting fans to wonder if the Louisiana native was close to being his old self again after multiple knee operations.
Timelord had the play of the game with a blocked shot he corralled and turned around to pass up the court to start a fast break with as much bounce as he’s had in a very long time. On the other end of the court, Williams put up 12 points on 6-of-6 shooting along with 8 rebounds, 2 assists, a steal and as many blocks.
Is Robert Williams III finally back for the Celtics?
The hosts of the CLNS Media “Garden Report” podcast recently debated the state of Williams’ game after Game 1; check out the clip embedded above to hear what they had to say about Timelord’s bounce being back.
