Kemba Walker and Robert Williams both OUT for Game 5

It's do or die time for the Celtics tonight. Even though yesterdat both Kemba Walker and Robert Williams were listed as doubtful for today's Game 5, I was hoping at least one could give it a go. You know, because you have all offseason to rest up? But no luck. Both oft-injured starters will remain inactive tonight.

#NEBHInjuryReport Brad Stevens says both Kemba Walker and Rob Williams are out for tonight's Game 5.

Brad Stevens on Kemba Walker being out: "I sat down with Kemba in my room today for a while and told him how badly we feel for him and how much we want him to feel better. It didn't sound like it's as much the knee (issue) he's been maintaining all year. It's the bone bruise."

A bit concerned that the Celtics needed to manage minutes all season for a 23 year old. https://t.co/ABuWoqb8zv
