Williams with Celtics

After nine months on the sidelines and two hours of sleep, Ray Williams was "thankful" to be playing again yesterday in his first practice with the Boston Celtics.

"It feels all right, better than sitting out the whole year," Williams said. "Coming back, playing with probably one of the two top teams in the league, it feels good."

The seven-year veteran of the National Basketball Association became a Celtic Monday night after Boston gave New York second-round draft choices in 1985 and 1986 to set the Knicks to waive their right to match a $125,000 offer he received from the Celtics.

The 6-ft., 3-in guard had gained free agency after last season when he got into a contract dispute and didn't sign with New York. He signed the offer sheet with Boston last Thursday, and New York had 15 days to match it. The defending NBA champions made the deal to get him sooner.

Boston Coach K.C. Jones said Williams would play six minutes in tonight's game.
