According to recent reporting, it does appear Robert Williams III will make his return during the opening round of the postseason for the Boston Celtics. This could come as soon as Game 3 or Game 4 in Brooklyn and would be a massive pivot point in the series between the Nets and Celtics.
Now in his fourth year as a pro, the Time Lord has become one of the most effective centers in the NBA this year. He is the anchor for Boston’s notoriously stingy defense and offers a consistent and punishing threat around the rim on offense. As a two-way compliment to Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, he is an integral part of this Celtics club.
With his return right around the corner, it’s worth breaking down why Williams is so important to Boston. How will Robert Williams impact the Boston Celtics this postseason?
