2 Boston Celtics players questionable ahead of Gm 7 vs Heat

The Boston Celtics are preparing to meet the Miami Heat in a winner-takes-it-all Game 7 with two key players being questionable. According to the latest injury report, Marcus Smart and Robert Williams are considered questionable ahead of Sunday’s clash.

Smart missed Game 4 after spraining his right ankle in Game 3. He returned to action in Game 5 in a limited fashion before playing 40 minutes in Game 6, where he posted 14 points and four rebounds.

Williams continues to deal with knee soreness but has only missed Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals thus far. Since then, he has averaged 10 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.3 blocks in 24 minutes.

The defensive specialist has been dealing with knee problems for the past few months. He underwent surgery in March to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee and did not return until Game 3 of the Celtics’ first-round playoff series against Brooklyn.

He suffered a bone bruise in the same knee during Game 3 of Boston’s second-round series against Milwaukee. Williams missed the final four games against the Bucks before being cleared to suit up for the first two games of the series vs Miami.

The Heat have their share of injury struggles ahead of Gm 7, but with the season at stakes, all players, who will be able to be in the court will play.
