Grant Williams another offensive rebound and from here it looked like he intentionally did a rip through on JJJ on his way up. When he hit the ground, Williams was pointing at Jackson the whole time because it was his 6th foul – 4:08 PM

BC crashed into Tee Morant, spiling his drink.
Grant Williams picks up the mop and does the job himself. He should get an assist for that. – 2:27 PM

Bobby Manning: #Celtics list another loaded injury report before #Bucks game tomorrow. Tatum doubtful with a non-COVID illness. Stevens said last week he had really been battling it. Grant (elbow swelling) and Rob (ankle) are questionable. Brown, Smart remain out. Brogdon probable (achilles). -via Twitter @RealBobManning / February 13, 2023
Multiple teams expressed interest in trading for Celtics forward Grant Williams, league sources told HoopsHype. Some teams valued acquiring Williams before the deadline because they would have retained his Bird Rights. There’s a belief from some executives around the league that Boston may not match anything over $15 million annually for Williams, an upcoming restricted free agent this summer. -via HoopsHype / February 11, 2023
Sources tell cleveland.com the Cavs had a long list of high-priority targets, players they coveted most — Brooklyn’s Royce O’Neale, Dorian Finney-Smith and Cam Johnson, Atlanta’s Bogdan Bogdanovic, Boston’s Grant Williams, Pistons sniper Bojan Bogdanovic (Detroit’s ask was termed “outrageous” by one rival executive) and a few others. All of them stayed put. Sources say those teams either weren’t interested in what the asset-poor Cavs — who couldn’t offer a first-round pick without acquiring another one (something the team explored) because they spent so much draft capital on the Donovan Mitchell blockbuster — were willing to give up or the price tag was deemed too high for the caliber of player coming back. -via Cleveland Plain Dealer / February 9, 2023
