Robert Williams III could be back on the court for the Celtics very soon. The Boston center is reportedly close to returning and could play in Game 3 on Saturday or Game 4 on April 25 against the Nets, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania.
However, the final decision on Williams’s status will be made based on how he feels from day to day, per Charania.
The update on Williams comes more than two weeks after Celtics coach Ime Udoka said in a news conference before the NBA playoffs started that his big man would not return to the court to begin the postseason. However, in that same news conference, Udoka did state that he expected Williams to return “sooner rather than later.”
