The Boston Celtics have too much good news to celebrate to be too reminded of the misfortunes that affect them. However, it should be noted that Joe Mazzulla’s men are having their excellent season without being able to count on their starting center and one of the pillars of their defense. Between Al Horford and the offensive capacity that small formats allow, the Celtics are managing to perfectly alleviate the loss of Robert Williams III. Who has not yet debuted after undergoing a new knee operation last September. During this time the forecasts for his return have varied a lot, but right now the player’s environment, in the words of Adrian Wojnarowski, believes that he could return in the next 12 days.
A few days after the operation, the first medical tests were more pessimistic than expected and already in October they predicted a return at the beginning of 2023. Since then, Williams has not stopped advancing deadlines. First pointing to the Christmas day and now placing the end of his recovery a few days before the holidays. In his intervention for ESPN, Woj hints that the player might even be ready before this new designated date. “It would not be strange if one day he woke up and decided that he is ready to play again,” he says in nba today.
