Grant Williams opens up on benching
My apolgies. I wrote a long post on Grant Williams comments today after shootaround, but I foolishly deleted it somehow. I blame Rasheed Wallace. More or less, the upcoming free agent said all the right things. He said how pride does a disservice and that he just needs to get back in the gym and wait for his coach to call his name next. Mazzulla said match-ups were the reason that Williams received his first healthy scratch Wednesday night versus the Cavs. Expect Williams to get some run tonight versus Brooklyn.
On Wednesday, Grant Williams received a DNP-CD for the first time since the 2020-21 season.
