CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Former Providence Day standout Grant Williams is headed to the NBA Finals with the Boston Celtics. 

Williams scored 11 points and had 6 rebounds in Boston's Game 7 win over the Miami Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals, and has been a key contributor during the Celtics' playoff run. 

This is Williams' first trip to the NBA Finals after being drafted No. 22 overall by Boston in 2019. After his stellar career at Providence Day, Williams enrolled at Tennessee, where he graduated in three years en route to the NBA. He was named SEC Player of the Year in his final year at Tennessee.
