While the Celtics are missing their starting center Neemias Queta with an ankle injury, they seem to have found a suitable replacement.
Amari Williams, who the Celtics selected in the second round of the 2025 NBA Draft, made his NBA debut in the Celtics’ win over the Pistons on Wednesday night after getting called up from the G League. The rookie was actually thrown into the deep end against Detroit, who had a league-best 13-game winning streak at the time of Wednesday’s game, playing 15 minutes as he scored a point and secured three rebounds.
