It might not explain everything about his current slump, but Boston Celtics reserve forward Grant Williams has evidently been playing injured for some time now according to new reporting from Jared Weiss of the Athletic. Per Weiss, Since Feb. 12, “Williams has been struggling with a ligament strain in his shooting elbow exacerbated by inflammation in the surrounding muscle.”
“Williams had to stop lifting heavy weights for several weeks, though he returned to his normal routine before re-aggravating the injury in practice before Sunday’s double-overtime loss to the Knicks in which he played 45 minutes,” the Athletic NBA insider relates.
