Celtics center Robert Williams III is expected to miss the start of the 2022–23 season after undergoing an arthroscopic procedure on his left knee.
The organization announced Friday the standout defender is on the mend following surgery to “remove loose bodies and address swelling” in the knee. Williams, who also underwent surgery on March 30 to repair a torn left meniscus, is projected to return to basketball activities in eight to 12 weeks, per the Celtics. The new recovery timeline alters the timetable reported by ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski on Tuesday stating Williams was “expected to need 4-to-6 weeks for recovery.”
