Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (knee) is not on the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. The big man was held out of Tuesday's game due to left knee injury management. It sounds like his absence was rest related, so he shouldn't be limited on Thursday. His return will mean less playing time for Blake Griffin and Luke Kornet. Neither of them are worth streaming while Williams is active.

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (injury management) will not play Tuesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Williams is likely being sat due to rest as the Celtics look to limit his reps. Blake Griffin and Luke Kornet should see an uptick in minutes on Tuesday but both are just low-end options. Williams will look to get back on to the court the next time Boston plays on Thursday against the Dallas Mavericks

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (injury management) is questionable to play against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Celtics are likely looking to manage the reps of Williams as he works his way back to game shape, but this game is not in the midst of a back-to-back set. If Williams were to sit, Blake Griffin and Luke Kornet would likely see a boost in value.

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (illness) is available to play Sunday against the Denver Nuggets. Williams was questionable with an illness, but appears to not be affected by any lingering symptoms. With Williams good to go, there is not much fantasy opportunity to go around for backups Blake Griffin and Luke Kornet.

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He was added to the injury report here because he's dealing with a non-COVID related illness. His absence would open up more playing time for Luke Kornet and Blake Griffin. One of them would move into the starting five, but regardless they aren't ideal streaming options for Sunday's slate. Fantasy managers will have to check back closer to tip-off for another update on Williams.

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (illness) received the questionable tag again on Tuesday due to a non-COVID illness. He's still on a minute restriction, so the team could opt to play it safe. Williams hasn't played more than 22 minutes and has generally hovered between 13 and 17 while coming off of the bench. If they keep him out of this one, look for Al Horford to get some big minutes with Luke Kornet picking up most of the backup opportunities.

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (illness) has been deemed questionable to suit up for Friday's contest vs. Minnesota due to an illness. Williams made his season debut last week and has since seen capped minutes off the bench for Boston, but his possible absence is not related to the knee ailment that kept him out for nearly the first two months of the year. If Williams is held out, Luke Kornet would presumably slide back into a double-digit minutes load, although he will likely remain on the periphery of DFS relevance. Even in limited minutes, Williams has managed solid production from a season-long perspective, collecting at least one block in each outing.

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (knee) has been out the entire season so far as rehabs the knee surgery he received in the offseason. The team officially upgraded him to questionable on Friday and he looks ready to make his season debut. Last season, over 61 games, the 25-year-old averaged 10.0 points, 9.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 2.0 blocks per game while shooting 73.6% from the floor. Sam Hauser and Grant Williams will likely take hits to their fantasy value once Williams ramps up his minutes.

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (knee) reportedly could be back a little bit before Christmas, which was what he originally hoped for. Adrian Wojnarowski said on NBA Today that the timeline is potentially 10 to 12 days, but he could also "wake up one day and decide he's ready to return." Fantasy managers that have been hanging on to Williams until he returns should be very excited with this news. Al Horford has now entered the health and safety protocols, so the team would welcome him back, too, so that they don't have to rely on Blake Griffin and Luke Kornet.

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (knee) expects to be back on the court by Christmas. The 25-year-old has not played this season after having knee surgery in September. He received a PRP injection nearly one month later. The Celtics are going to continue to be patient with Williams. He underwent two surgeries in the last calendar year, so he needs time to recover. It's great to hear that Williams could possibly be back on the court by Christmas. He would certainly be a boost to this team that already holds the best record in basketball right now.

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III underwent a knee procedure back in September that was only supposed to keep him out for about four to six weeks. After receiving a platelet-rich plasma injection on Monday, their hope is that he returns sometime in December or January, but it could take even longer. This is a big blow to the Celtics, as he was the anchor of their defense. In fantasy formats with more than one Injured Reserve spot, he's worth keeping. With that being said, it sounds like this injury is cause for larger concern and should be monitored throughout the first couple of months this season.

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (knee) is expected to be sidelined for the next 4-6 weeks after undergoing an arthroscopic procedure on his left knee, per Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. Williams had meniscus surgery in March, which allowed him to return in time for the playoffs, although he saw a somewhat limited workload. While the latest procedure is expected to delay his return to action, Boston is hopeful it will have him available during the early portion of the regular season. Without their defensive stalwart in the mix, the Celtics are likely to utilize Al Horford at the five with an increased frequency, which could open the door for Grant Williams to play an elevated role once the season gets underway. Boston opens the regular season Oct. 18 vs. Philadelphia.

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (knee) is forecasted to be 100% entering training camp. The big man tore the meniscus in his left knee back in March, keeping him out for a substantial portion of the regular season. He did manage to return during the postseason, and despite receiving a minute's cap, he was still a solid contributor for the most part. Williams averaged a career-high 10.0 points in 2021-22 while adding 9.6 boards and 2.2 blocks. However, his inability to remain healthy throughout his time in the league has been a problem, so fantasy managers should plan on taking a suitable backup in drafts heading into October.

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (knee) is available for Game 6 of the NBA Finals versus the Golden State Warriors. As if there was any doubt, primarily with the C's one loss away from elimination, the 24-year-old is good to go after continuing to deal with left knee soreness throughout the postseason. He's reportedly had his knee drained several times recently, but after logging at least 30 minutes in each of his previous two contests, he'll likely see plenty of work on Thursday night.

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (knee) is questionable ahead of Game 6 of the NBA Finals versus Golden State. The 24-year-old continues to be burdened by a sore left knee. However, he played 30 minutes in Game 5, his second-highest total throughout the postseason, so he should be good to go on Thursday night. Williams has averaged 7.6 boards, 7.0 points, and 2.4 blocks during this series, and with the C's looking to avoid elimination, the former Texas A&M Aggie may continue to get plenty of work on Thursday night.

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday's Game 5 against the Golden State Warriors. He mentioned on Sunday that he has been feeling better lately. On Friday, Williams was able to play a series-high 31 minutes in their loss. There's a good chance he'll see a similar workload, assuming he's able to play on Monday. Fantasy managers will have to check back closer to game time for another update.

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (knee) is officially available for Friday's Game 4 against the Golden State Warriors. He mentioned that he's feeling good after logging in 26 minutes during Wednesday's contest. It sounds like Williams plans to play through the left knee soreness. Fantasy managers shouldn't be too worried considering Williams played extremely well on Wednesday. There is no word that Williams is going to be limited, so expect him to be fully available for this contest.

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (knee) is questionable for Game 4 of the NBA Finals versus the Warriors. The 24-year-old has a sore left knee, which has sometimes limited his workload throughout the postseason. However, after logging only 14 minutes in Game 2, the big man received 26 minutes in Game 3 on Wednesday and finished with 10 boards, eight points, four blocks, and three steals. While it's certainly not guaranteed that Williams will see the floor that much on Friday night, assuming he plays, the upside is evident for the DFS managers willing to take a chance.

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (knee) is back on the injury report for Game 3 of the NBA Finals versus the Golden State Warriors. This one isn't a surprise, primarily since he's been dealing with left knee soreness throughout most of the postseason. His playing time hasn't been consistent either, and he finished Game 2 by accumulating two points, two rebounds, and two blocks throughout only 14 minutes. While Williams will probably suit up, he's certainly a risky option for DFS managers on Wednesday evening.

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (knee) is available for Game 2 of the NBA Finals versus Golden State. Per head coach Ime Udoka, Williams is day-to-day for the rest of the postseason, meaning the big man's availability is not guaranteed for any of the remaining contests. He's also not a lock to see consistent playing time, so DFS managers should think twice before putting him into any lineup. Yet, after the 24-year-old finished Game 1 with eight points, six rebounds, four blocks, and one steal, he may be worth the risk.
