Board games and basketball: Grant Williams cherished time living with Kemba Walker

Kemba Walker and Grant Williams spent a ton of time together over the last three months when the NBA was on lockdown.

It was a unique opportunity for the duo as the veteran point guard and Celtics rookie lived together in Charlotte during the COVID-19 pandemic.

But while Williams’ exuberant personality has seemed to rub off on his teammates this season, Williams’ affinity for playing board games didn’t have the same effect on Walker when they shared a living space.

“The best I could get (out of him) was UNO and cards,” said Williams to reporters via Zoom Monday, who added that Walker does like to play the board game Trouble.
