We were expecting him for the holidays but, in the end, Santa Claus was generous and will be early. Robert WilliamsIII will begin his season this Friday evening, against Orlando, confirmed his agent for ESPN.
The end of a long wait for the pivot of the Celtics, who had undergone an arthroscopy of the left knee in September then an injection of PRP, plasma rich in platelets, the following month.
Without him, the Celtics have dominated the regular season for two months, thanks to their fire attack, the best in the league, but the team lacks intimidation under the circle. While they were the second team with the fewest points in the racket last year, the Celtics fell to 13th place in this area. With Robert Williams III, Boston’s defense, already the 8th most effective of the campaign, will surely go up a notch.
