Robert Williams Misses Flight And First Celtics Rookie Practice

BOSTON (CBS) – Boston Celtics rookie Robert Williams is making a horrible first impression.

The Celtics rookies held their first practice Sunday, getting ready for the Las Vegas summer league that starts this week.

But Williams wasn't there. He missed his flight to Boston and then practice as well.
