Grant Williams slammed into Jayson Tatum at full speed late in the fourth quarter of the Celtics’ win over Charlotte Friday night.
Williams was ejected from the game after he was called for a Flagrant 2 foul. He told reporters that the act was not intentional, but Celtics forward Jaylen Brown disagrees.
“I don’t know what that was about. I think that spoke for itself,” Brown said. “I don’t know if Grant missed JT, I don’t know what that was. That just wasn’t a basketball play. Grant knows better than that.”
Celtics guard Derrick White also said that the 6-foot-6, 236-pound Williams should know better than to run into people at full speed when they’re dribbling a basketball.
