Celtics' Williams out at least three weeks
Boston Celtics big man Robert Williams will miss at least three weeks after being diagnosed with bone edema in his left hip, the team announced Monday.
Williams must limit basketball activities while he is sidelined, according to the team. He will be re-evaluated in three weeks and the club will update his status at that time.
Williams has missed the past three games due to the issue. An edema is a buildup of fluid around a bone.
The 22-year-old Williams is averaging 3.9 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.1 blocked shots in 19 games (one start) this season. He is shooting 67.3 percent from the field.
Williams is in second season with Boston after being a first-round pick (27th overall) in the 2018 draft out of Texas A&M. Williams averaged 2.5 points and 2.5 rebounds in 32 games (two starts) last season.
