Here’s what Ime Udoka said about Robert Williams’ surgery, potential return this season

Robert Williams will need surgery to repair the torn meniscus in his left knee according to Ime Udoka, but the Celtics remain uncertain how long their promising young center will be out.

Williams left Sunday’s game against the Timberwolves with pain in his left knee. On Monday, Williams’ MRI returned with bad news, and Ime Udoka confirmed that Williams will need surgery of some kind prior to the Celtics’ game against the Raptors.

“We’ll know in the next few days, just evaluate some surgical options, look at those over the next few days and we’ll know more then,” Udoka said.
