Sees 44 minutes of run in 2OT loss Williams totaled nine points (2-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one block over 44 minutes during Sunday's 131-129 double-overtime loss to New York.
Impact Grant Williams saw an increase in playing time due to the absence of Robert Williams (hamstring). The former had recently seen his playing time dip to only 17.6 minutes per game over his last six contests (which included one DNP-CD) before Sunday's 2OT thriller. Despite the extended run, Williams generated only modest stats from just seven field-goal attempts. Williams hasn't scored in double figures since his last start -- a Valentine's Day loss at Milwaukee.

Falls out of rotation Williams (coach's decision) went unused off the bench in Wednesday's 117-113 win over the Cavaliers.
Impact With Jaylen Brown (personal) returning from a one-game absence, Boston had all of its key players available for one of the few occasions all season. Due to Cleveland keeping the game competitive until the bitter end, all five of the Boston starters logged 30-plus-minutes, but it was still surprising that head coach Joe Mazzulla opted not to turn to Williams off the bench behind sixth man Derrick White (25 minutes) and seventh man Malcolm Brogdon (23 minutes). Instead, Mazzulla turned to Mike Muscala (11 minutes) and Sam Hauser (nine minutes) to round out a tight nine-man rotation, resulting in Williams failing to see the court for the first time since Oct. 28, when he sat out while serving a suspension. It's uncertain if Williams will regularly find himself outside of the rotation moving forward, but it's clear that his playing time will be suppressed now that the Celtics are back to full strength.

Returns to second unit Williams will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Pistons.
Impact Williams drew the start Tuesday with Jayson Tatum (illness) and Jaylen Brown (face) absent, but will rejoin the reserves with Tatum healthy. Williams logged his second double-double of the season Tuesday but turned the ball over five times in his 48 minutes of play.

Double-double in OT loss Williams finished with 12 points (4-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and one steal over 48 minutes during Tuesday's 131-125 overtime loss to the Bucks.
Impact With the Celtics missing Jayson Tatum (illness), Jaylen Brown (face) and others from the rotation, Williams saw his biggest workload of the season and turned it into his second double-double. The 24-year-old has started three of the last four games, averaging 10.5 points, 8.0 boards, 4.8 assists, 1.8 threes and 1.0 steals in 36.3 minutes over that stretch, and his minutes and fantasy value should remain elevated until Boston begins to get healthier.

Enters starting unit Williams is in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus Milwaukee, Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe reports.

Upgraded to available Williams (elbow) is available for Tuesday's matchup against the Bucks.
Impact Williams was initially listed as questionable due to right elbow swelling, but he's since been upgraded to available. The Celtics have already ruled out Jayson Tatum (illness), Jaylen Brown (face) and Marcus Smart (ankle), while Al Horford (knee) and Robert Williams (ankle) are listed as questionable, so Grant Williams figures to be a core piece of Boston's rotation against the Bucks, who trail the first-place Celtics by only 1.5 games.

Questionable against Milwaukee Williams is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Bucks due to right elbow swelling.
Impact Williams hasn't missed a game since Oct. 28, but it's unclear whether his elbow injury will prevent him from playing in the first half of a back-to-back set. Williams could see increased run if he's available Tuesday since Jayson Tatum (illness) is doubtful.
