Sources: The lengths Robert Williams III has gone to play in 2022 NBA playoffs, including having knee drained

BOSTON — Robert Williams III has his good days and his bad days.

The Boston Celtics big man underwent surgery on March 30 after suffering a torn meniscus in his left knee. He returned to action for Game 3 of the opening-round series against the Brooklyn Nets in just under a month.

Ever since then, he has been listed as questionable leading up to each game he’s participated in the 2022 NBA playoffs.

His availability status has not been a protective strategy to throw off the opposition. Team staffers are legitimately unsure if he will be a go for gamedays.
