Based on Stevens’ comments, the Celtics believe Williams has improved significantly since then. “We’re in a good position with him from the standpoint that I think he’s getting a lot better, I think he’s doing a lot of good things,” Stevens said. “He makes a big impact on our team. And I think as the season progresses, and this is just another thing that you try to keep in the back of your mind from my seat is like, we need him to be able to play higher minutes as the season gets later. And so right now, I guess you would call that managing (Williams’ playing time) appropriately.”
Chris Grenham: Jayson Tatum on Robert Williams: “Rob is continuing to improve night in and night out. … He has an amazing feel for the game. … Rob is really, really good and he’s going to help us the more opportunities he gets.”
Chris Grenham: Good news for the Celtics: Semi Ojeleye (knee soreness) and Robert Williams (hip soreness) are both probable tomorrow, per the team.
Jay King: Brad Stevens said Robert Williams had nothing more than general soreness in the hip, and the team is being very cautious. But it is the same hip he had issues with last season.
