How some people want to debate whether or not a young 20 yr old 6-10 jumping jack may not have his wheels right to start his career and not seriously think about having surgery is unbelievable. His legs are his money.

Why don't you let the people who know what they're talking about make those determinations there Doc?

[Fafnir]

I am going to go ahead and just write this kid off now. He looks like a total injury bust.

So you writing off Kyrie and Hayward too?

celticinorlando will always be pessimistic and looking for his tail as it comes off often. Just who he is.

Just on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

And anything that deals with artery issues seems like a bigger deal to me than just soreness or stiffness

Those guys are a little different...artery issues behind the knees seem a wee bit more serious

Than a torn meniscus?

Theis JUST got back to jogging. On Twitter looked like he was going half speed yesterday. Williams is still practicing..

Don't think they are even close to Williams being able to play. If this does not improve there would likely be some sort of surgery to correct. As someone posted earlier that doesn't sound so easy.

I hope the guy proves me wrong. I hope he has a great career and impacts the Celtics this season..just so far not such a good start to things

The artery thing is not what they're keeping him out for. Stevens gets an update every day and makes the decision to play him based on tendinitis. Since it's SL they are extra cautious but were this the regular season he would probably be playing..

Don't get me wrong I love Theis and am excited about having him back but he's far from a sure thing to come back 100% this year..

AGAIN, there's no evidence we fans have access to that says surgery is the right thing to do.

This. He originally banged knees and had some tendonitis so they have held him out of the past 2 games. There has been no reports that they've kept him out due to the artery thing..

Once Williams cleared to go, hoping soon, can see him taking Theis’ minutes if Theis rehab spills into season. They’re similar players in skill set and body type. Theis more experienced, better shooter, RW more athletic. I could see RW jump ahead of Yabu for minutes as back up big in any event.

Of course they will but I'm giving my opinion. It sounds like a serious problem because the last time I checked your legs are crucial to being a basketball player. 

[Bobshot]

The story I read is this is not an uncommon condition for players. The Celtics don't seem concerned.
 
I suspect the story has a hype factor attached to it, as Williams seems to have made himself a media target.

[ThaPreacher]

Might as well go ahead and shut him down, have the surgery and shelf him possibly for the year.

We do get Theis back and we may be able to sign a cheap big man to backup Baynes in a crunch.

There's no need for surgery at this time. Relax..

Um, he can't even play in summer league games. Why not get it done if they've diagnosed it?

He has tendinitis bro. You peeps are looney sometimes..

LOL TP!  Ainge said recently that "he played with tendinitis his whole career"!
Most young athletes have never worked on strength conditioning-beginning with progressions from body weight work-to whole strength training. Tendonitis can be treated with both stretching and leg strengthening.  The Artery condition is an obstacle that contributes to the tendonitis.  Don't forget to breathe Celtic fans! Take a deep breath!

Maybe the title of this thread should be changed to "What (Now) About Bob?", lol .
