Robert Williams’ issues with punctuality have been well-documented.
The Boston Celtics’ lone selection in the 2018 NBA Draft was late for his introductory phone call, then missed the team’s first summer league practice due to poor travel planning. But since then, he’s made an effort to get to places early or on time, even moving into an apartment right down the street from the team’s practice facility in Brighton.
On Sunday, the C’s had their first preseason game at TD Garden. Williams, not wanting to make headlines again for the wrong reasons, got to the arena particularly early.
And he had a hilarious reason why.
Hey, Route 1 traffic on an autumn Sunday is no joke, so you can’t blame the 20-year-old for taking some extreme caution.
