where is it Robert WilliamsIII ? As a reminder, on September 23, he went to the pool table to undergo an arthroscopy of the left knee, before receiving, on October 17, an injection of PRP (plasma rich in platelets).
The Boston player joined the Celtics during their short “road trip” of two away games in a row (in New York and Memphis), which is a good sign even if no precise return date has yet been given.
“I dunk, yes”declares Williams III to NBC Sports. “It’s nice to be back on the court. I go into high gear. Even though the Celtics are trying to hold me back and want me to take my time. »

“We will be a much better team with him,” assures Jayson Tatum at MassLive. “I can’t stress enough how important he is, offensively and defensively. He is present, he protects the circle, he passes. We miss him, it’s obvious, and playing without him is a daily challenge, but we shouldn’t rush anything. »
