The Boston Celtics will be without big man Robert Williams in tonight’s matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers due to right knee soreness as Williams popped up on the injury report this afternoon prior to be officially listed out.
Head coach Brad Stevens spoke to the media prior to tonight’s game and gave an update on the injury, stating that Williams had “a little swelling up around the upper calf behind his knee.
“We’re going to look at him again when we get back to Boston,” Stevens said. “They don’t think it’s anything more than day-to-day but gonna make sure.”
