At the beginning of the offseason, the Boston Celtics’ frontcourt looked deep. Their starting unit from last season was still intact, Grant Williams was coming off of a breakout year, and Brad Stevens signed Danilo Gallinari to a two-year contract. However, a lot has changed since then.
Gallinari tore his ACL while playing at EuroBasket, and, according to Sean Deveney of Heavy.com, Robert Williams is set to undergo arthroscopic knee surgery. He’ll miss 4-6 weeks, which means Boston will be without him for the beginning of the regular season.
What was once a four-man frontcourt is now down to two.
