Boston Celtics forward Grant Williams -- who'll be a restricted free agent this summer -- had successful surgery on his left hand Friday that is expected to have him fully recovered for the start of NBA training camp in the fall, the team announced.

The surgery to repair a torn ligament comes after Williams hurt the hand in March. Williams decided to continue playing with the injury through the Celtics' run to the Eastern Conference finals.

Williams is expected to make a full return to basketball activities in 6-to-8 weeks, according to the team.
