The Celtics will have to play small-ball over the next week or so.

According to Shams Charania, Robert Williams, Tristan Thompson and Grant Williams are all facing a minimum seven-day quarantine due to health and safety protocols.

According to the Boston Globe, Robert Williams tested positive for COVID-19, while Thompson and Grant Williams are considered close contacts.

This means the Celtics will only have Semi Ojeleye and Tacko Fall coming off the bench as big men behind Daniel Theis until those players can return.

The Celtics play five games over the next week -- hosting the Wizards and Heat Friday and Sunday, traveling to Chicago to take on the Bulls Tuesday, and then returning home to host the Magic for a back-to-back Wednesday and Friday.
