Boston Celtics president of basketball operations Brad Stevens was asked about Robert Williams’ return to play timeline in his weekly appearance on 98.5 The Sports Hub. Stevens said there’s been no change.
“No one’s told me it’s been moved back,” Stevens said. He also reiterated that Williams’ timeline remains 8-12 weeks from his original surgery date of September 22. That has Williams on track to return sometime around the end of the calendar year.
There was a recent report that stated Williams recently underwent a PRP procedure. The report was unclear if that impacted the Celtics big man’s time to return. One of the updates was that Boston hoped to have Williams back sometime in the second half of the season, which caused concerned for Celtics fans.
