Go Celts. Hope RW plays.
Exactly if he doesn’t play I have no interest in watching this game
Pretty much, but here's to hoping that Yabu/Semi hits 3's at a higher rate.  If they are losing at halftime, I'll shut it off.

Might be one of the worst starts to a career a guy could have.

Williams showing why he dropped. Bad knees, questionable character, not reliable.

Hope he improves but not thinking they get much out of this guy this season

I’m not going to fret about the injury.  It’s summer league.  Tatum got held out the final couple of games of summer league last year due to patellar tendonitis, and then played 3100 minutes in the regular and postseason.  I’m not expecting Williams to do that, but the Celtics are hypercautious with injury during Summer league, and rightfully so.  It is more likely than not that there is not much to this injury.

Reportedly it's precautionary. Ingram and Ball sat out large chunks of SL for the Lakers last year as well. Really this is a Scrub Showcase more than anything..

Meh, I don't think we have a read on any of this yet. I mean the media seems to have it out for him, but other than that sitting out SL is not really unusual for actual roster guys.

"Optics" is for politicians.

Frankly the team is deciding to keep him out and that's probably the right call..

In related news, according to Marc Spears, Jaylen is in Vegas for the networking events he’s been coordinating for young players the last couple of years, and MIGHT play in a couple of games, because he’s “not too good for summer league.”

I'm actually kind of ticked that Robert Williams has sat these past couple of games. I get Saturday because it was the day after but he should have been ready by tonight's game. He had all Sunday to ice the knee and the fans want to see the kid the play. You're really telling me they can't put him in for a couple of minutes and run a set play where he rolls to the hoop and throws down a dunk? Honestly just one dunk and he could sit down and people would be happy.
