How Celtics center Robert Williams has slimmed down

Robert Williams can tell his body has changed. Even if he couldn’t, he looks a little different.

“Everybody compliments me on [my leaner physique],’’ Williams said. “The work I’m doing is actually paying off.’’

After a rookie season full of takeout orders, Williams is cleaning up his food intake in hopes the changes will benefit him on the court. The 22-year-old Celtics center spent part of the offseason in search of a personal chef, and although the hire has yet to become official, he’s leaning toward employing that of former teammate Terry Rozier.

“He knows what I like, so I feel I can roll with him,’’ Williams said.
