Celtics' Robert Williams listed as questionable for Game 2 of NBA Finals

On Saturday, Boston Celtics center Robert Williams was listed as questionable on the team's injury report ahead of Game 2 of the NBA Finals against the Golden State Warriors on Sunday. 

Williams, who has dealt with several ailments during the playoffs, is currently managing left knee soreness. 

"I'm feeling good," Williams told Jay King of The Athletic. "Taking it day-by-day, step-by-step. Getting all the treatment I can. Doing everything I need to make sure I'm ready."

The 24-year-old played 24 minutes in Boston's Game 1 victory over the Warriors. Williams finished 4-for-4 from the field for eight points while adding six rebounds and four blocks. 

Williams has missed seven games during the playoffs. However, he's played in five consecutive games since missing Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Miami Heat.

In 12 postseason contests, Williams has averaged 7.8 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game.

Williams played 61 regular-season games for Boston, averaging 10.0 points, 9.6 rebounds, 2.2 blocks and 2.0 assists per game.

On Thursday, the Celtics came from behind to defeat the Warriors, 120-108, in Game 1 of the NBA Finals. Boston hosts Game 2 on Sunday at 9 p.m.
