Celtics rookie, Robert Williams, has artery condition in both legs

The news on Celtics rookie Robert Williams just never seems to get better. A missed conference call - a missed flight and resulting absence at the first Summer League practice - a knee injury in his first Summer League game - and now reports of a vascular disease affecting both legs.

I have to keep telling myself that, in the end, everything will work out fine with this kid. The Celtics front office apparently knew about the popliteal artery entrapment syndrome (PAES) that is affecting Robert prior to drafting him with the 27th pick in the recent NBA draft.
