Boston Celtics big man Robert underwent a successful meniscus surgery on Wednesday morning.
As relayed by ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, the Celtics are hopeful that Williams will return from a 4-6 weeks timetable, good enough to land back in the lineup if ever they reach the Conference Semis and Finals.
Williams has been an integral ingredient in Boston’s late season of emergence that now sits at the 3rd column of the East with a 47-29 card. His defense will truly cover the paint woes of the Cs if ever an competitive encounter against Joel Embiid and Giannis Antetokounmpo will happen in the next several months.
As the length of absence was finally released for Williams, Beantown will now rely further on veteran centers Al Horford and Daniel Theis to carry their frontcourt load.
Per almost 30 minutes of play, Williams is averaging 10.0 points in a very consistent 73.6 shooting – to go along with 9.6 boards, 2.0 assists, and 2.0 blocks this 2021-22 campaign.
