The Celtics were healthy for the majority of the postseason, but they were hobbled at the worst possible time as they limped to the finish line.
Jayson Tatum sprained his ankle on the first play of Game 7, and he was a shell of himself in Monday’s season-ending loss. Malcolm Brogdon suffered a forearm injury in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals and was ultimately a non-factor because of it. On Tuesday, it was revealed that Robert Williams also wasn’t 100 percent.
The Celtics center played just 14 minutes in Game 7. Why? According to The Athletic’s Shams Charania, Williams had a stomach bug that he played through.
“Robert Williams was throwing up during the game,” Charania said, via Stadium. “He only played 14 minutes last night. He was coming in and coming out of the game. When he came out, he would be throwing up. He was dealing with a stomach virus, stomach bug that he played through it. He was sick yesterday, he was sick going into today.”
