The return of Robert Williams is nearing

Having missed 33 games and counting, Celtics center Robert Williams says he’s “getting anxious” about his impending return to the court.

“We’re all waiting for my comeback,” he said Thursday night at the Auerbach Center.

Williams, who has been sidelined since Dec. 6 with a left hip bone edema, practiced fully with the team for the first time Thursday. According to teammate Jaylen Brown, Williams brought “a lot of high energy” and made “some ridiculous plays.”

“They let me free now,” Williams said. “There’s no limitations on anything I’m doing. I want to windmill every time I dunk.
