As of Thursday afternoon, the Celtics were only expecting to be without guard Evan Fournier for their trip to the Staples Center to play the Los Angeles Lakers, but Robert Williams III is a late addition to the injury report following the 1:30 p.m. ET release.
The Celtics announced that Williams is now questionable due to right knee soreness. Boston will be facing a depleted Lakers team that is still without its two biggest stars in LeBron James and Anthony Davis – but Williams has been a key player as a starter, and the Celtics are 9-2 with him in the starting lineup.
Williams scored 16 points and had seven rebounds and four assists in a one-point win over the Blazers on Tuesday.
