3 years agoBoston Celtics center Robert Williams III (knee) underwent surgery on his left meniscus Tuesday, with the team eyeing a return to game action in the next 4-6 weeks. That timeline assures that Williams will be shut down for the remainder of the regular season, with a best-case scenario likely being a return for the second round of the playoffs. In his first start since rejoining the Celtics, Daniel Theis played 41 minutes Monday and logged a double-double, indicative of the role that he figures to play in Williams' absence. Williams finishes the 2021-22 year having averaged 10 points and 9.6 rebounds per contest, all while shooting 73.6% overall, all of which are new career bests.--Jesse Borek
