Robert Williams (knee) ruled out Wednesday for Celtics
Boston Celtics center Robert Williams (knee) has been ruled out of Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks, per head coach Ime Udoka.
What It Means:
Williams had to exit Monday's game early with a knee injury, but Udoka said it's believed to be a short-term issue. Grant Williams will likely replace Robert in the starting lineup on Wednesday and Al Horford could play a larger role up front. Robert's next opportunity to play will be on Friday versus the Los Angeles Lakers.
Grant is averaging 19.9 FanDuel points and 27.5 minutes in three starts this season. Horford set season-highs with 48.5 FanDuel points and 40.9 minutes in his only game without Robert this season. The Hawks are ranked 18th in FanDuel points allowed per game to the center position this season.
