One former University of Tennessee basketball player competed in the NBA Tuesday.
In Boston, the Celtics defeated Atlanta, 107-98, at TD Garden.
Grant Williams, a third-year player, appeared off the bench for Boston against the Hawks.
He played 28 minutes and scored 18 points. Williams finished with seven rebounds, one assist and one block.
He was 6-for-11 from the floor, 2-for-4 from beyond the 3-point arc and 4-for-4 from the free throw line.
