BOSTON — After losing Rob Williams at halftime, Celtics coach Brad Stevens said he didn’t know what to expect from his starting center for the remainder of the season.
Williams, who has been battling turf toe, felt good enough to start and play 11 first-half minutes. But the painful ailment became too much to play through and the Celtics’ ruled him out for the second half. He’s likely headed for a permanent spot on the team’s injury report for the remainder of the season.
