Robert Williams has been out of the Boston Celtics rotation since the beginning of December with a left hip bone edema. In layman’s terms, it’s something akin to a deep bone bruise. The team has been quite cautious with Williams, careful not to bring someone so reliant on his athleticism back too soon from a nagging injury like this.
Several cryptic tweets issued by Williams in the past few weeks have stirred some speculation regarding when exactly his return might be. However, now we have something more concrete with the team announcing that Williams began practicing in full about a week ago.
