Williams was ejected from Friday's game against the Celtics with 2:02 remaining in the fourth quarter after being assessed a Flagrant 2 foul, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.
With Mark Williams (back) out and Nick Richards (shoulder) leaving the contest early, Grant Williams was thrust into an expanded role at center. He finished with six points (2-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt), seven rebounds, three assists, a steal and a block in 30 minutes before making a non-basketball play on a Jayson Tatum late in the fourth quarter. If Mark Williams and Richards remain out, Grant Williams could move into the starting lineup Saturday in the second leg of a back-to-back set with the Celtics.
