Robert Williams will be back by Christmas-- NBA insider believes return of Williams will close all gaps on defensive end for Celtics

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III might be returning prior to Christmas, according to a brand-new report. Williams, who's wildly considered the very best rim protector in the NBA, will be a huge boost for Boston.

Robert Williams had knee surgery in September and has responded well to the treatment.

Boston (13-4) has had men like Al Oxford and Grant Williams step up. Getting Robert Williams back will be substantial for the Celtics and both of those guys.

Celtics getting back at much better with Robert Williams

It's hard to picture the Boston Celtics being even better than they already are. The majority of concern them as the very best group in the NBA. Nevertheless, adding arguably the very best rim protector in basketball is constantly going to assist a group.

Boston Celtics superstar forward Jayson Tatum had a lot of appreciation for his:

There are likely still barriers that Williams will need to clear. Returning from a knee injury is never ever a simple task, so even if it isn't by Christmas, that would likely be the factor why. If anything troubles Williams, Boston wouldn't run the risk of another injury to put him back out there.

Robert Williams spoke about his return and appeared to be in great spirits:

Let's see what Boston can do towards Christmas as they get their elite center back. He's going to be a substantial assistance versus a group like the Milwaukee Bucks with Giannis Antetokounmpo, who's a force at the rim.

Robert Williams missed out on multiple games throughout the playoffs last season, when Boston lost in the NBA Finals to the Golden State Warriors. Possibly a healthy Williams could've been the edge that Boston required.
