Rob Williams on his initial fears after injuring his knee: “I was hurt. I was so hurt. Because I knew something wasn’t right. I could tell it was something that was gonna stop me from playing. So I really didn’t even want to find out what it was at one point.” – 1:44 PM

Fun moment at the end of Rob Williams’ presser. Whenever he finishes up, he shouts “Twiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis!” to Celtics PR maven Jeff Twiss. Today, Williams was presented with a shirt that has an image of him screaming the phrase on it. Drew a huge smile from Williams. – 11:53 AM

Robert Williams still isn’t fully sure when his knee injury happened. He thinks it happened contesting a Taurean Prince shot. He says Ime Udoka subbed him out anyway, but he was going to ask out because each step got worse – 11:50 AM

Rob Williams when he first felt the knee pain: “I was hurt. I was playing well. We were playing so well. I didn’t even want to acknowledge it at first. I didn’t even want to find out. But I was at the end of the bench and scared to even stand up. That’s when I knew it was bad.” – 11:49 AM
