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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

Impact Williams needs to miss at least one game due to a hairline fracture in his hand. It's unclear how much time he'll be sidelined with the injury, but it's possible the two-way player will be held out through the conclusion of the G League's Tip-Off Tournament, which concludes with the Maine Celtics' matchup Sunday against the Raptors 905.
