For Celtics like Robert Williams, COVID-19 issues have created an anxious time It has been hard for the Celtics to focus on basketball with much of their roster focused on off-court issues. Still, they remain in first.
Not on injury report Williams (COVID-19 protocols) is not on the Celtics' injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the 76ers, Tim Bontemps of ESPN reports.
Impact After a three-game absence, as well as some postponements, Williams will return to action for the first time since Dec. 6. Boston will be close to full strength Wednesday, with only Jayson Tatum (COVID-19 protocols), Carsen Edwards (COVID-19 protocols) and Romeo Langford (wrist) still sidelined.

Expected to return Wednesday Williams (COVID-19 protocols) is expected to play in Wednesday's game against the 76ers, Jay King of The Athletic reports.
Impact Williams looks like he will likely return after missing three games while being placed in the league's health and safety protocols. If the 23-year-old is able to return, Boston's big-man rotation will once again be crowded with Tristan Thompson and Daniel Theis also healthy. Williams is off to a nice start to the season, averaging 6.8 points on 77.4 percent shooting, 6.5 rebounds, 0.6 assists, 1.5 blocks and 1.1 steals across just 16.4 minutes per contest.

Not exhibiting symptoms of virus Williams, who tested positive for COVID-19 on Jan. 7, has been asymptomatic since beginning his quarantine period last week, Tom Westerholm of Boston.com reports.
Impact According to the NBA's COVID-19 protocols, Williams will be required to self-isolate for 10 days to the date of his positive test, and he won't be allowed to exercise while in quarantine. If he remains negative and asymptomatic once the 10-day period concludes, Williams would then have to complete three days of monitored exercising before receiving clearance to rejoin the Celtics, so his absence is expected to be closer to two weeks in length. That timeline would make the Celtics' Jan. 20 game in Philadelphia as the earliest possible date for Williams to return to action.

Double-doubles in win Williams produced 11 points (4-5 FG, 3-3 FT), 15 rebounds, two blocks and one steal over 20 minutes in Monday's 126-114 road win over the Raptors.
Impact The big center scored all his points in the second half. His 15 rebounds led Boston. Williams' raw energy helped him out-produce fellow bigs Daniel Theis and Tristan Thompson. Before Monday, the third year veteran was averaging only 16 minutes per game. But if he continues to deliver high-energy performances like he did Monday, Williams' minutes should grow. He'll need to continue his high level of play if Boston wants to defeat Bam Adebayo and the Miami Heat on Wednesday.
