Robert Williams III Posts Double-Double With Five Blocks
3 years agoBoston Celtics center Robert Williams III got off to a strong start to the 2021-22 campaign on Wednesday. He logged 45 minutes in the team's double-overtime loss to the New York Knicks and compiled 16 points, 10 boards, five blocks, three steals and three assists without committing a single turnover. He shot 5-for-5 from the field and 6-for-8 from the line in the game. The team was without fellow center Al Horford as he is still sidelined due to the league's COVID-19 health and safety protocols. Horford's return will cause Williams' minutes to drop a good amount, but the fourth-year pro certainly made a strong case for a heavy share of playing time in Wednesday's season opener.
