Michael Scotto: Following the recent extension for Pelicans forward Larry Nance Jr, I spoke with four NBA executives, and they told HoopsHype they projected Grant Williams to be worth between $12-13 million annually in any extension talks. One executive told me, “For an extension now, he’s probably in the $12-14 million territory. I think $15 million is not out of the question, but definitely on the high end, and it means they’d think he’s going to be a starter.”

Looks like Grant Williams rolled his right ankle a little bit on the last play. Looks like his sneaker just stuck and the ankle rolled a little. He’s out of the game – 9:25 PM

Grant Williams appears to be fine after turning his ankle going for a rebound on that last play. Was in a lot of pain, but looks like it wore off. – 9:25 PM

More on this storyline
Adam Himmelsbach: Been in the Cs locker room for 5 mins and seems like Blake Griffin has been here 5 years. Engaging everyone and roasting Grant lol. -via Twitter @AdamHimmelsbach / October 6, 2022
Tim Bontemps: Grant Williams says he loves everything about being a member of the Celtics, and wants to be here, but that any discussions about his potential contract extension are left in the hands of his agents. Says he doesn’t let any of that impact his focus, which is on winning a title. -via Twitter @TimBontemps / September 26, 2022
Sean Deveney: Sources told @HeavyOnSports that @celtics PF Grant Williams is in line for a contract extension. BUT the team & GW’s camp huddled up early this summer, and there’ve been no meetings since. That’ll change. We’re told there’s “optimism” on an deal. -via Twitter @SeanDeveney / September 20, 2022
