Starting Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III spoke with the media for the first time since getting surgery to repair his torn left lateral meniscus, damaged in Boston’s blowout win over the Minnesota Timberwolves last Sunday.
Since then, the range of outcomes stretched from missing the rest of the season and perhaps some of the next to a shorter four to six week timeline, with the latter seeming more likely as time passes. Asked if there was a moment when he became aware of the injury or if it were something clearly particular, Timelord replied that actually, he did not though he suspected that something was seriously wrong.
“I didn’t know what was wrong during the game, but I knew something was happening that was going to stop me from playing,” explained Williams.
Will we see Robert Williams III back early for the Boston Celtics? https://t.co/blzdsA8MPB
