Celtics' Robert Williams Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome in both legs
Boston Celtics rookie Robert Williams has artery condition in his legs
Celtics rookie Robert Williams has the Popliteal artery entrapment syndrome in both legs.
Per MassLive, A source described the condition as, "not too serious." It could, however, require a procedure if it were to degenerate down the line.
Because of where the muscles and tendons around Williams' knee are positioned, they end up compressing the "popliteal artery," the main one behind the knee, restricting blood flow to the lower leg. It can lead to cramping and calf pain during exercise.
NBA teams, including the Celtics, were aware of Williams' condition at the time of the draft -- as was Texas A&M, where Williams went to college. The rookie has been playing with the condition for years, sources told MassLive.
