Grant Williams did not show up on the injury report for Wednesday night’s game against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
He also didn’t play a single minute during the win.
It was a surprising absence for the fourth-year forward who is averaging a career-high 27.3 minutes per game this season.
Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla insisted that he wanted more rim protection against the Cavs. Robert Williams III played 31 minutes, nearly seven minutes above his season average. Newly acquired big man Mike Muscala got 11 minutes, missed all three of his shot attempts, and grabbed one rebound.
