The Celtics and Grant Williams only have a few days left to agree to an extension before the forward will become a restricted free agent in the 2023 offseason.
As Monday’s deadline nears, it doesn’t appear like an extension is likely. The two sides are “essentially at a stalemate” as Williams is seeking a contract worth $13 million to $17 million per year for four years, The Boston Globe’s Adam Himmelsbach reported.
The Globe’s report is just the latest in recent days to express pessimism that the two sides would be able to agree to an extension prior to Monday’s deadline.
