Ime's comments on TL here:
Ime Udoka talks health of Smart, Williams ahead of Game 1 vs. Warriors (usatoday.com)
“Rob’s alright,” shared Udoka. “He’s good. He felt good; his minutes (in Game 7 of the East finals) were low, he only played 14 in that game.”
“We tried to keep him in the lower portion if we could,” the Celtics coach continued.
“So, it’s going to be an ongoing thing like I mentioned,” suggested Udoka.
“He’s day-to-day pretty much through the playoffs, he should feel better with time in between,” he noted. “Especially with these two days off in between games as opposed to playing every other day.
“I think going back to the Milwaukee (Bucks) series, 17 days straight every other day, and so that’s going to take a toll on you coming off of surgery.”
I guess this sounds positive?
