Celtics center Robert Williams has suffered a torn meniscus in his left knee, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
Williams will reportedly miss several weeks at a minimum, per Wojnarowski. He will be given a more firm timetable upon further examination.
Williams, 24, is in his fourth season after being selected in the first round of the 2018 NBA draft. He is averaging a career-high 10 points and 9.6 rebounds per game this season, shooting 73.6% from the field. Williams has served as Boston’s defensive anchor for much of the season as the Celtics lead the league in defensive rating.
