Boston Celtics’ 2025 NBA draft second-round selection Amari Williams struggled to secure consistent playing time during the 2025-26 season. As a championship-contending team, the Celtics already had a solid frontcourt duo in Neemias Quetta and Luka Garza, limiting opportunities for Williams. After acquiring Nikola Vucevic via trade mid-season, his chances of cracking the rotation dwindled further.
The former University of Kentucky standout appeared in 22 games throughout the season, earning his first two NBA starts when the team was short-handed. Averaging 6.6 minutes per contest, Williams posted 1.4 points, 1.8 rebounds, 0.5 assists, and 0.5 blocks.
A strong showing in summer league could pave the way for more opportunities in the 2026-27 campaign.
