Timelord time is finally nearly upon us, according to Adrian Wojnarowski on a recent ESPN broadcast. Robert Williams III has arrived at the point of his rehabilitation from a cleanup knee surgery in September that he is the final arbiter on when he returns to the court for the Boston Celtics.
According to the ESPN senior writer, the former Texas A&M player has been given the go-ahead medically and just has to feel mentally ready to step into a rotation with championship aspirations and the recent play to support such lofty goals, a brick of a game against the Golden State Warriors this weekend excepted.
“I think they’re essentially waiting for Robert Williams … to wake up one morning and say ‘I’m ready to go,’ explained Wojnarowski. “He’s cleared to play.”

“If you saw some of the clips of him in practice catching lob dunks, he’s playing five-on-five, he’s playing pain-free,” added Woj. But he’s still coming off that offseason knee surgery”
“If it’s not tomorrow against the (Los Angeles) Lakers, then Boston is back home Friday” to play the Orlando Magic, hinted the ESPN analyst of a potential alternate return options.
“There’s no rush to get Robert Williams back,” suggested Woj — and all signs point toward the Celtics agreeing.
