Nick Kyrgios is fed up with seeing Grant Williams on the Boston Celtics roster. On Monday night, the Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers were tied with less than a second left on the clock and Williams had two free throws. Just before the first free-throw, Cavaliers star guard Donovan Mitchell started trash-talking Williams.
Williams, who needed to knock down just one free throw for the win, told Mitchell: “I’m gonna make them both.” Williams missed both free throws and the game went overtime, which the Cavaliers won.

Thanasi Kokkinakis trolls Kyrgios: You like Grant Williams?
Thanasi Kokkinakis trolled Kyrgios a bit, asking his good friend: “(smiling emojis) Do u like Grant Williams?” Meanwhile, Kyrgios is still at home recovering from a knee surgery.
After withdrawing from the Australian Open, Kyrgios had a surgical procedure on his knee. Last month, Kyrgios’ manager Daniel Horsfall confirmed that the Australian’s surgery “went great.” “The surgery went great, to be honest, we couldn’t have asked for a better result.
We’re all pretty pleased, the team is ready to go, when he’s ready, we’re ready. He’s in a knee brace at the moment, he only has movement up to about 70 degrees. We have a post-op appointment today to test where it’s at, but we’ve been talking to the surgeon most days and also the physio.
They’re really, really pleased, he might be recovering faster than what we were expecting so it’s good news,” Horsfall told SEN Breakfast. Even though Kyrgios’ surgery went great, he didn’t manage to recover in time for the Masters events in Indian Wells and Miami.
Now that Kyrgios is out of Indian Wells and Miami, he will very likely return at some point during the clay season. Last year, Kyrgios confirmed his plan was to return to the French Open this year.
