Boston Celtics announce that the team’s center Robert Williams III has suffered a meniscus tear in his left knee. He will miss at least several weeks, according to ESPN.
The Celtics were on a roll in the last third of the season, reaching the top spot in the Eastern Conference after the most recent win over the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Boston won 24 of the last 28 games and currently holds a 47-28 record.
That was also the game when Williams got injured, after showing off once again his defensive prowess, a crucial element in the team’s success this season.
Williams signed a four-year, $54 million extension last summer. This season, he has averaged 10 points, 9.6 rebounds and 2.2 blocks. He has shot 73% from the field.
