3 years agoBoston Celtics center Robert Williams III (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's contest against the Cavaliers due to a sore left knee. Prior to his exit, Williams was able to compile six rebounds across 13 minutes, failing to score with two missed shots to his credit. The 24-year-old has proven integral to the Celtics' frontcourt in the early portion of the season, having entered play Monday with a double-double in three consecutive outings. Boston could opt to utilize Grant Williams as a small ball center or deploy Al Horford with an elevated minutes total should Williams face any type of extended absence. His next chance to take the floor comes Wednesday vs. Atlanta.--Jesse Borek
