BOSTON -- The Boston Celtics may not have to dig as deep into their big man well for their game Friday night against the Golden State Warriors.
Daniel Theis and Robert Williams III, both unable to play in the 140-133 win over the Washington Wizards on Wednesday, are listed as questionable for the game Friday vs. Golden State in San Francisco, the opener of the C's five-game trip west.
Theis was unable to play due to a sprained little finger in his right hand.
Following Boston’s win over the Dallas Mavericks, Theis told NBC Sports Boston that he dislocated his finger twice and popped it back in place both times.
“I just try to help the team any way I can,” Theis said.
Williams missed the Wizards game due to a sore right ankle that has progressed, but it remains to be seen if it has healed to the point where the 6-foot-10 big man can play Friday.
Boston has won nine in a row and the one bright spot with all the Celtics injuries at center is it has allowed others an opportunity to play a more significant role.
