Coach Ime Udoka said Williams won’t start but would be available to play as needed. Williams’ return gives the Celtics athleticism and depth up front to try and match the Bucks, and in particular Giannis Antetokounmpo. Williams anchored the best defense in the NBA in the second half of the season.
Williams suffered the bone bruise in a collision with Antetokounmpo in Game 3.
