Robert Williams III - Close to returning Coach Joe Mazzulla said Sunday that Williams (knee) is "pretty close to returning" to game action, Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe reports. Impact Williams, who's yet to make his season debut while rehabbing from his latest knee procedure, participated in a scrimmage during the Celtics' shootaround Wednesday and continues to trend in the right direction. Boston has shied away from offering a strict return timeline, but Williams' agent suggested recently that the star big man could be back in action before Christmas. Either way, Williams will likely be eased back into the mix once he's cleared.
