Amari Williams News, Rumors, Updates - Boston Celtics

Not part of rotation Wednesday Williams (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Wednesday in the Celtics' 147-129 win over the Heat.

Impact After suiting up for the Maine Celtics in Tuesday's 112-90 loss to the Greensboro Swarm in a first-round matchup in the G League playoffs, Williams was able to arrive in Miami in time for the parent club's matchup with the Heat. However, after logging 13 minutes off the bench in the Celtics' previous game Monday against the Hawks, Williams dropped back out of the rotation with Neemias Queta (thumb) making his return from a one-game absence.

Back with parent club The Celtics recalled Williams from the G League's Maine Celtics on Wednesday.

Impact Williams has rejoined Boston ahead of Wednesday's game against the Thunder, but he's unlikely to be featured in the rotation. The rookie second-round pick saw extended run Tuesday in Maine's 130-105 win over the Cleveland Charge, finishing with 13 points (5-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-4 FT), nine rebounds, four blocks and one assist in 27 minutes.

Recalled from G League Williams has been recalled from the G League.

Impact Williams will be available for Sunday's game versus the Timberwolves, but that doesn't mean he'll touch the court. Williams has been a negligible part of the Celtics' rotation this season.

Recalled to NBA Boston recalled Williams from the G League's Maine Celtics on Friday.

Impact Williams will likely be available to Sunday's meeting with the Timberwolves after spending a few days with the G League squad. However, the rookie has seen limited action at the NBA level over the past couple of months, and that is likely to remain the case for the rest of the season. He has been more productive when assigned to the Maine affiliate, for which his average of 10.8 rebounds per game is the highest on the team.

Recalled to NBA Boston recalled Williams from the G League's Maines Celtics on Thursday.

Impact Williams has rejoined the parent club after a solid G League performance in which he tallied 29 points, seven rebounds and five blocks against the Motor City Cruise. The center will now aim to earn a place in the first team's rotation, although he may not play a huge role, having made just two starts while averaging 2.4 points and 2.8 rebound per game at the NBA level in 2026.

FEBRUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Assigned to G League Williams was assigned to the G League's Maine Celtics on Monday.

Impact Williams agreed to a two-year standard contract Thursday, though that development isn't indicative of a consistent role with Boston. The rookie has appeared in 14 NBA games (two starts) this season, averaging 1.6 points and 2.1 rebounds in 8.0 minutes per contest. With the Celtics off until Wednesday against the Bulls, Williams could be recalled in time to rejoin the parent club.

Inks standard pact with Boston The Celtics agreed to a two-year, $2.7 million contract with Williams on Thursday, NBA reporter Marc Stein reports.

Impact The rookie second-rounder latched on with Boston on a one-year, two-way pact this past summer, though he's now been upgraded to a standard deal. The 24-year-old big man has appeared in 13 regular-season games (two starts) so far this season, during which he has averaged 1.7 points and 2.1 rebounds in 8.2 minutes per contest. He'll continue to provide center depth for Boston behind Nikola Vucevic (recently traded), Neemias Queta and Luka Garza.

Not starting Friday Williams is not in the starting lineup for Friday's matchup with the Kings, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Impact Williams received a spot-start Wednesday with Neemias Queta out due to an illness, but Queta is back and starting Friday, so Williams will retreat to the second unit. The rookie center has not been a consistent part of the Celtics' rotation this season, so with the Boston bigs healthy, he could be headed for a DNP-CD.

JANUARY 31 • ROTOWIRE

Starting sans Queta Williams will start against the Hawks on Wednesday, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Impact With Neemias Queta (illness) unavailable, Williams will get the starting nod for just the second time this season. The rookie second-rounder logged a career-high 26 minutes in Monday's win over Portland, during which he posted nine points (3-8 FG, 3-5 FT), seven rebounds, two blocks, one assist and one steal.

Celtics just committed another heist on rest of NBA if latest showing is real Celtics rookie Amari Williams had the best game of his career on Monday against the Trail Blazers.

JANUARY 27 • HARDWOODHOUDINI.COM

Flirts with double-double Williams logged nine points (3-8 FG, 3-5 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal in 26 minutes during Monday's 102-94 victory over the Trail Blazers.

Impact Williams saw plenty of opportunities to make an impact despite being bumped back to a bench role Monday night. The two-way center logged a season-high 26 minutes and contributed across the board, accounting for two of his team's four swats. It's worth noting that Luka Garza (illness) was unavailable Monday, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see Williams lose out on some playing time once Garza returns to health.

Back to bench Monday Williams is not in the Celtics' starting lineup against the Trail Blazers on Monday, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.

Impact The rookie second-rounder made his first NBA start against the Bulls on Saturday, though he logged just 10 minutes while recording two points, two rebounds and one block. Williams will revert to a bench role Monday while Neemias Queta (illness) returns to the starting lineup, and the former could lose out on rotational minutes due to the return of Josh Minott (ankle).

JANUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE

Does little in first NBA start Williams chipped in two points (1-1 FG), two rebounds and one block in 10 minutes during Saturday's 114-111 loss to the Bulls.

Impact The rookie second-rounder has spent most of the 2025-26 season in the G League with the Maine Celtics, but he was given the opportunity to start Saturday while Neemias Queta -- who has been battling an illness as of late -- came off the bench. However, Williams played just 10 minutes in his first NBA start and was not on the floor for the entire fourth quarter, so there isn't a glaring need to pick up the Kentucky product off waivers as of yet.

JANUARY 25 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Saturday Williams will start Saturday versus the Bulls, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.

Impact Williams will earn his first career start Saturday and will be joined in the first unit by Payton Pritchard, Derrick White, Jaylen Brown and Sam Hauser. Williams has been sparsely deployed by the Celtics this season, and he hasn't had any major statistical breakthroughs, but he'll get some time to shine Saturday night with a favorable matchup against Chicago.
