The banged-up Celtics needed bodies, and it looks like they picked one up on Monday. According to the Boston Globe's Gary Washburn, the C's have acquired guard Terrence Williams to help round out their roster, which has been depleted with injuries.

Terrence Williams signing is a done deal according to celtics source gary washburn (@GwashNBAGlobe) February 18, 2013
Williams, 25, starred at University of Louisville under Rick Pitino and has bounced around the basketball world ever since. He was drafted 11th overall in 2009 by the Nets. From there, he's played for the Houston Rockets, Sacramento Kings and joined the Detroit Pistons briefly before the 2012-13 season. After being waived by Detroit, he landed with the Guangdong Southern Tigers in China.
Washburn reported that Williams needed a clearance letter from the Tigers before his deal with the Celtics could be made official. Williams will meet the Celtics in Denver for their game with the Nuggets tomorrow, according to Washburn.
