Williams had initially left the Celtics to join the Dallas Mavericks in free agency last season but was included in a trade ᴅᴇᴀᴅline deal where he moved to Charlotte in February, and finished out the season with the Hornets.

After leaving Boston, his former team went on to be the 2024 NBA Champions.

Williams previously said there is no “bad blood” between him and the Celtics, but an eventual seemingly intentional run-in with Jayson Tatum that Jaylen Brown called a “football play,” seemed to say otherwise.
