Robert Williams on knee surgery: “We’re going to get it right this time”

Boston Celtics Media Day provided big man Robert Williams with his first opportunity to speak with the media after his recent knee surgery. As reported by the team, the injury will cause him to miss roughly 8-12 weeks of action, meaning he may not return to the court until 2023.

Williams was asked about what led to the injury and the need for surgery this late into the offseason. He said that there were recurring problems with his knee, also mentioning the mental toll the injury has taken on him.

“Just some recurring problems,” Williams explained.
