Robert Williams did not get off to the start Boston Celtics fans were hoping for when he was taken by the team with the 27th overall pick in the NBA Draft.
After sleeping through his introductory conference call, he missed a flight to Boston ahead of the groups first practice. He played in all but a handful of minutes in the Summer League after going out with a knee injury. Everything was pointing towards a disastrous rookie season for the big man out of Texas A&M.
Then the injury bug hit the Celtics. Al Horford has been sidelined with knee complications.
