LAS VEGAS — Celtics rookie Robert Williams on Tuesday confirmed that he has played through an artery condition in his legs that can cause cramping and calf pain, but he said the issue has dissipated recently and is not a major concern moving forward.
“Yeah, it was just a time-to-time thing,’’ Williams told the Globe. “I haven’t been dealing with it for a while really. The last time was in the middle of my college season last year.’’
MassLive.com, citing an anonymous source, on Monday first reported Williams’s condition, which is known as popliteal artery entrapment syndrome, or PAES.
