The 24-year-old has been regularly slotted in and out of the lineup for the Celtics this postseason due to a left knee injury. Williams missed four of the seven games in Boston's previous series against the Milwaukee Bucks and two of the four opening-round games against the Brooklyn Nets.
Williams missed Game 3 against Miami, but played games 1, 2 and 4.
During the regular season, Williams averaged 10 points and 9.6 rebounds in 61 games.
The Eastern Conference Finals best-of-seven series is tied at two games apiece.
