But Williams, whom the Celtics signed to a 10-day contract Monday, won’t be able to join the Celtics on the court until he receives a letter of clearance from the Chinese Basketball Association, and he didn’t receive that letter in time for Tuesday’s game against the Nuggets. Williams most recently played in China for the Guangdong Southern Tigers of the CBA. Under the NBA’s agreement with FIBA (Federation International de Basketball), a player must receive a letter of clearance from the FIBA team he played for before joining an NBA team. “Sometimes that’s quick, sometimes that’s a long process,” Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge said. “We’re trying to finalize that paperwork. I’m hopeful that it will get done soon.” Boston Globe

Terrence Williams joined the Celtics for their morning shootaround here Tuesday, but he's currently awaiting a letter of clearance from his former team in China before he can begin playing with the Celtics. Until that process is completed, Williams, whom the Celtics signed to a 10-day contract Monday, cannot participate in basketball activities with his new team. Boston Globe

Williams said his approach is to practice and play as if he already is part of the team. "I'm going to work hard, regardless," he said. "No matter if it's six guarantees or it's 15 guarantees, it doesn't really matter. It doesn't change my approach to basketball. I'm going to play basketball and I'm going to try to compete. I've always known how to play basketball. That's never been the point. There's never been a point when I couldn't play basketball and I couldn't perform and I didn't play hard. I'm always going to do that." Booth Newspapers
