Could injuries prevent Rob Williams from being the Celtics starting center?

Earlier today, the Celtics announced that Rob “Timelord” Williams was questionable for tomorrow night’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Williams has missed six straight games with “left knee soreness,” a rather vague diagnosis that is concerning for a young big man whose game revolves around athleticism. For the rest of the season, the opportunity remains for Williams to be the Celtics starting center as long as he’s healthy. When Timelord is in the starting line-up, he’s averaged 10.1 points, 9.2 rebounds, 3.4 assists, and 2.0 blocks in just over 25 minutes per game, according to RotoWire.com. This production has been in a small ten game sample size, followed by Williams’ six game absence, which is where we are now.
