Robert Williams III To Undergo Knee Procedure, Miss 4-6 Weeks
2 years agoBoston Celtics center Robert Williams III (knee) is expected to be sidelined for the next 4-6 weeks after undergoing an arthroscopic procedure on his left knee, per Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. Williams had meniscus surgery in March, which allowed him to return in time for the playoffs, although he saw a somewhat limited workload. While the latest procedure is expected to delay his return to action, Boston is hopeful it will have him available during the early portion of the regular season. Without their defensive stalwart in the mix, the Celtics are likely to utilize Al Horford at the five with an increased frequency, which could open the door for Grant Williams to play an elevated role once the season gets underway. Boston opens the regular season Oct. 18 vs. Philadelphia.
