I had a feeling there was a chance Rob Williams might play in Brooklyn, because he was set to travel with the team. That piqued my curiosity, because he could have just as easily stayed in Boston to continue rehabbing. – 1:13 PM

More on this storyline

Adrian Wojnarowski: Barring a setback, Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III intends to return in limited minutes for Game 3 vs. Brooklyn on Saturday, sources tell ESPN. If those minutes go smoothly, the expectation is that he’ll resume a significant minutes load for Game 4 on Monday. -via Twitter @wojespn / April 22, 2022

Adrian Wojnarowski: Williams played pain-free 5-on-5 in consecutive practices and will make his return from meniscus surgery on March 30. -via Twitter @wojespn / April 22, 2022

Mark Murphy: League source, commenting on @Shams Charania report that Rob Williams is possible for Game 3 or 4, said, “Rob is day-to-day. It depends on how he feels.” Stresses that there’s still good chance he “won’t” return this early. -via Twitter @Murf56 / April 22, 2022
