Celtics injury update: Robert Williams III listed as questionable for Game 6 vs. Milwaukee Bucks

The Boston Celtics may have to face the Milwaukee Bucks again without big man Robert Williams III, with the team listing the Texas A&M product as questionable for the second straight game of their East semis series. But then again, Williams could also play, given he was a late scratch in Game 5, and the win-or-go-home stakes for Game 6.

The injury has been described by head coach Ime Udoka as a flare-up of swelling and soreness not unusual for someone who had been operated on as recently as Williams had been. But, given the fact that he has not been especially effective in this series — his knee perhaps part of the reason — the Louisiana native might not see his number called regardless.

The Celtics also listed reserve forward Sam Hauser as a scratch for Game 6 with what is being described as a right shoulder instability episode by the team.

#NEBHInjuryReport for Game 6 tomorrow vs Milwaukee:

Sam Hauser (right shoulder instability episode) – OUT
Robert Williams (left knee soreness) – QUESTIONABLE
