MARCH 30, 2023 • MASSLIVE.COM

To face Bucks Williams (knee/rest) has been cleared to play in Thursday's clash against the Bucks, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.

Impact Due to frequent injuries, Williams hasn't made the impact this year that he did in 2021-22, but he's still an elite shot-blocker and lob threat. Across his past four appearances, he's averaged 5.3 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.8 blocks and 1.0 steals in 17.5 minutes.

Not listed on injury report Williams (hamstring) is not listed on the injury report for Tuesday's contest against the Kings, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.

Impact After missing Boston's past eight contests, Williams appears ready to go for Tuesday's matchup against the Kings. The 25-year-old center has appeared in 28 showings this season, averaging 8.4 points, 8.6 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.2 blocks over 24.3 minutes per game. The likes of Blake Griffin, Al Horford and Luke Kornet emerge as candidates to receive less usage with Williams back in action.

Impact After completing the second leg of a road back-to-back set in Utah, the Celtics will have off Sunday before presumably holding a practice Monday. Look for the Celtics' medical and coaching staffs to reassess Williams' condition that day before providing an update on his status heading into the final game of the road trip Tuesday. If cleared to play in Sacramento, Williams could come off the bench and would presumably be on a minutes limit after missing the Celtics' last eight games with a left hamstring strain.

Could return by end of road trip Coach Joe Mazzulla said Wednesday that Williams (hamstring) could return in the next 5-7 days, Brian Robb of MassLive.com reports.

Impact Williams had already been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves, the sixth consecutive matchup he'll miss due to his left hamstring strain. However, the center could be back in action within a week. Mazzulla's update signals that Williams will likely miss Friday's game against the Trail Blazers and Saturday's game against the Jazz, but he may return for Tuesday's matchup against Sacramento.

MARCH 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Still sidelined against Minnesota Williams (hamstring) is out for Wednesday's game versus the Timberwolves.

Impact Williams will miss his sixth straight game Wednesday due to a left hamstring strain. Mike Muscala and Blake Griffin should continue to see extended minutes in his absence. Williams' next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with Portland.

MARCH 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Monday Williams (hamstring) is listed out for Monday's matchup against Houston.

Impact It's been about a week since Boston head coach Joe Mazzulla said Williams could miss 7-10 days, but we've heard very little on his progress since. With Williams missing his fifth straight game, the Celtics will likely keep rolling with smaller lineups and utilize Al Horford at center.

Brad Stevens needs to fill a big hole in the Celtics' roster with Robert Williams out injured - The Boston Globe Now is the time for the president of basketball operations to give coach Joe Mazzulla another option by bringing in some veteran help.

Could miss 7-10 days Coach Joe Mazzulla said Sunday that Williams could miss the next 7-10 days due to his strained left hamstring, Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact It sounds like Williams might be missing at least the next four games, so managers shouldn't count on him being available at all during Week 20. Mazzulla added that Williams' minutes will be split up amongst Grant Williams, Luke Kornet and Mike Muscala, so Grant Williams is worth a look. Through 21 games a starter, Grant Williams has produced averages of 10.3 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.8 triples per contest on 49.4 percent shooting.

Celtics injury report: Robert Williams out for Knicks game Sunday Robert Williams III tweaked his hamstring in the Celtics' loss to the Nets on Friday.

MARCH 4, 2023 • MASSLIVE.COM

Not playing Sunday Williams (hamstring) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Knicks, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

Impact Williams suffered a left hamstring strain against the Nets after an awkward fall trying to block a shot and was unable to return to action. His absence should increase the role of Al Horford, while guys like Grant Williams, Mike Muscala and Luke Kornet could see extra minutes.

MARCH 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Tweaks hamstring, won't return Williams has left hamstring tightness and will not return Friday against the Nets, Chris Forsberg of NBC Sports Boston reports.

Impact Hamstring injuries are not something you want to mess with, so it's understandable that the Celtics are going to play it safe. Williams finished the night with six points, six rebounds and two blocks in 19 minutes. If he misses additional time, Al Horford could see a slight bump in minutes and guys like Grant Williams, Mike Muscala and Luke Kornet could pick up the slack.

MARCH 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Strong all-around outing Williams contributed 11 points (4-4 FG, 3-3 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 117-113 win over the Cavaliers.

Impact Williams was perfect from the field, active on the glass and helpful on the defensive end, as he had one of his most complete performances of the campaign. His fantasy upside is limited since he plays a secondary role on the offensive end, but he is still valuable in most formats due to his role as a starter and his contributions in other categories. Williams is averaging 9.6 points, 9.8 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 blocks per game since the start of February.

MARCH 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back in starting lineup Williams will start Thursday's game versus the Pacers.

Impact Williams will return to the starting lineup for Boston's first game of the second-half schedule. The big man has started only 13 of his 23 appearances this year, averaging 8.8 points, 10.1 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.6 steals-plus-blocks in 27.2 minutes during those contests. It's safe to assume he'll garner a similar role Thursday after getting extended time off during the All-Star break.

FEBRUARY 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not on injury report Williams (ankle) isn't on the injury report for Thursday's game against the Pacers, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

Impact Williams was unavailable for Boston's final game before the All-Star break but will be back in action immediately following the layoff. He came off the bench during his last appearance and played just 13 minutes, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him reclaim a starting role and see more playing time during Thursday's matchup.
