The Celtics have struggled mightily, particularly on the defensive end, in Williams' absence. They've gone 4-5 since Williams limped off with the injury during the team's loss to the Brooklyn Nets.

Williams has only played 28 games this season as offseason knee surgery delayed his campaign until Dec. 16. The 25-year-old is averaging 8.2 points, 8.6 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game.

With 10 games left in the regular season, the Celtics find themselves fighting with the Philadelphia 76ers for the No. 2 seed. The Sixers overtook them in the Eastern Conference standings after they blew a 19-point lead in Saturday's loss to the Utah Jazz.

Celtics vs. Kings is set for a 10 p.m. ET tip-off on Tuesday night.
