Joe Mazzulla addresses how he will manage starters’ minutes in final stretch of season.
The Boston Celtics won't have big man Robert Williams when they visit Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday night.
Williams was officially ruled out due to left knee injury management. With a back-to-back Tuesday and Wednesday, the Celtics could look to insert Williams back into the lineup and rest veteran big Al Horford against the Toronto Raptors.
Jaylen Brown could also miss Tuesday's showdown in Philadelphia. He was listed as questionable on the injury report with low back pain.
