The Celtics and Grant Williams were not able to reach an extension by the 6 pm deadline, sources tell @The Athletic. The two sides made progress over the past few days in negotiations, but were not able to come to an agreement. – 6:02 PM

With just over three hours until the rookie scale extension deadline, the Boston Celtics and Grant Williams remain far apart on an extension, a league source tells @celticsblog.
Both sides will continue to discuss potential deals, but at this time an extension appears unlikely. – 2:48 PM

Grant Williams walked me through Jayson Tatum’s ejection and his technical foul.
Grant told the official Gediminas Petraitis “referee the game, not your emotions.”

This pic is from a week ago — Grant Williams didn’t seem to be lacing his AJ 37s correctly and had the tongue bunching and slipping down mid-game. 🧐🤔 pic.twitter.com/jzrBoyvc05 – 10:10 PM

Grant Williams’ shoe just exploded on that last drive.
Preseason for shoes too, I guess. – 8:16 PM

Damn, Precious. Fact that Grant Williams (a very good defender) bit on his pump fake speaks to Achiuwa’s progression as a 3-point shooting threat. Great read to attack off the dribble and finish strong. – 8:06 PM

Seeing Hauser get acclimated to life in the switching defense here. Grant Williams lended him a hand finding Achiuwa in the left wing. OG breaks the scheme over the top. 36-35 Celtics after 1 – 8:05 PM

More on this storyline
Bobby Manning: I never thought it made sense for Grant Williams or #Celtics to sign extension. Boston has RFA rights and probably was never getting an extension discount after a big year. Grant can try to repeat 40% 3PT shooting, elite defensive versatility, win a starting job & become 20M AAV. -via Twitter @RealBobManning / October 17, 2022
John Karalis: Source tells me it does not appear an extension will get done with Grant Williams today -via Twitter @John_Karalis / October 17, 2022
Keith Smith: I think Brandon Clarke’s deal is a really great value for Memphis, especially where the cap is going. $13M AAV is basically MLE money in a couple of years. It also sets a floor for Grant Williams, who I think is a bit more valuable than Clarke is. Deadline is <24 hours away. -via Twitter @KeithSmithNBA / October 16, 2022
