  • Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Grabs eight boards in win

    Tillman amassed seven points (3-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt), eight rebounds, one assist and one steal over 27 minutes in Tuesday's 123-107 road win over the Jazz.

    Tillman's 27 minutes of run were driven by the absence of both Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) and Al Horford (toe). Still, Tillman produced solid numbers off the bench, which led to a plus-14 point differential rating. Since Boston acquired Tillman at the deadline, minutes have been erratic for both Tillman and Luke Kornet. But both were able to shine in this last contest of a five-game road trip. Expect Tillman's minutes to decrease Thursday when the Celtics return home to face the Suns.

  • Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Carving out bench role

    Tillman had two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist across 13 minutes during Thursday's 115-109 loss to Denver.

    Tillman has played double-digit minutes in three of Boston's last four contests after being out of the rotation to start his Celtics tenure. His lack of playing time early on with the Celtics may have been due to a knee injury, but now that he's 100 percent healthy, the veteran forward appears to have surpassed Luke Kornet in Boston's rotation. While Tillman has carved out a bench role, he's not playing enough to warrant attention in fantasy.

  • Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Gets light run in blowout

    Tillman (knee) tallied two points (1-1 FG) and one block in three minutes Thursday in the Celtics' 129-112 win over the Bulls.

    Tillman made his Celtics debut Thursday after he hadn't been available since being acquired from the Grizzlies on Feb. 7 while he continued to recover from a left knee injury. He found himself outside of head coach Joe Mazzulla's rotation, however, as Tillman didn't check into the game until 2:33 remained in the fourth quarter, when the Celtics were up by 18 points. Tillman looks like he'll need at least one or two of Boston's regular rotation players to be out for a given game in order to play meaningful minutes.

  • Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Available for Thursday's game

    Tillman (knee) is available for Thursday's game against Chicago, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

    Tillman has been dealing with a left knee injury in recent weeks and hasn't yet been able to make his debut for the Celtics after being traded from Memphis to Boston in early February. However, he'll be able to suit up as the Celtics resume play following the All-Star break. The 25-year-old should compete with Luke Kornet for reserve center minutes now that he's healthy.

  • Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Won't play Wednesday

    Tillman (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Nets, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

    Tillman continues to deal with a knee injury and will be unable to suit up for his new team before the All-Star break. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return to action.

  • Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Won't play Tuesday

    Tillman (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Nets, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

    Tillman was traded from the Grizzlies to the Celtics on Wednesday but hasn't yet been able to make his team debut due to his knee injury. It wouldn't be surprising to see him remain sidelined for Wednesday's rematch against the Nets to give him additional time to rest before the All-Star break.

  • Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Not playing Sunday

    Tillman (knee) won't play against the Heat on Sunday, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

    After being acquired from the Grizzlies on Wednesday, Tillman acknowledged he has no precise timeline to resume game action while he recovers from a sore left knee. The Celtics will continue to evaluate Tillman's status on a game-by-game basis, but he'll most likely sit out the team's upcoming Tuesday/Wednesday back-to-back set with the Nets to heal up in advance of the All-Star break. Once healthy, Tillman could challenge Luke Kornet for a role as the Celtics' fourth option in the frontcourt behind Jayson Tatum, Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford.

  • Celtics' Xavier Tillman: No timetable to return

    Tillman (knee) said Friday that he doesn't have a timetable to return, John Karalis of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.

    Tillman was traded from the Grizzlies to the Celtics on Wednesday, but he's been dealing with a left knee injury recently. He participated in Boston's morning shootaround ahead of Friday's game against the Wizards, but his comments afterward imply that he'll be sidelined against Washington. Once Tillman is healthy, he will fight for reserve center minutes with Al Horford and Luke Kornet.

  • Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Dealt to Boston

    The Grizzlies traded Tillman (knee) to the Celtics in exchange for Lamar Stevens and two future second-round draft picks Wednesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

    Tillman is currently dealing with a left knee injury, but he's not expected to be sidelined for a lengthy period. The 24-year-old big man was averaging 6.0 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.0 blocks in 20.6 minutes across 34 appearances in 2023-24 for Memphis. With the Celtics, Tillman will likely serve as frontcourt depth alongside Al Horford and Luke Kornet behind Kristaps Porzingis. While the deal became official Wednesday night, Tillman presumably won't be able to debut versus the Hawks, so his next chance to suit up will come Friday versus Washington.

  • Grizzlies' Xavier Tillman: Ruled out Tuesday

    Tilman (knee) is out for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.

    Tillman and Jaren Jackson (hip) will leave behind a shallow Memphis frontcourt featuring Santi Aldama, Trey Jemison and a myriad of small-ball options. Tillman's next opportunity to take the court comes Thursday against Chicago.

  • Grizzlies' Xavier Tillman: Doubtful for Tuesday

    Tillman (knee) is doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.

    Tillman has missed the last three games due to left knee injury recovery and seems poised to sit out another contest. Assuming Tillman and Jaren Jackson (hip) -- who is also listed as doubtful -- both sit Tuesday, Santi Aldama (tailbone) and Trey Jamison could end up covering most of the minutes at center.

  • Grizzlies' Xavier Tillman: Officially ruled out

    Tillman (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Boston.

    Tillman was considered doubtful for Sunday's matchup and will officially be unavailable for a third consecutive game due to a left knee injury. The Grizzlies will be extremely shorthanded against the Celtics, so Trey Jemison and Matthew Hurt could see additional run in the frontcourt.

  • Grizzlies' Xavier Tillman: Unlikely to play vs. Boston

    Tillman (knee) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Celtics.

    Tillman is in danger of missing his third straight matchup as a result of a left knee injury. With the Michigan State product not expected to go and Jaren Jackson (hip) ruled out, Memphis will likely rely on Santi Aldama, Vince Williams (wrist) and David Roddy to eat up a good chunk of the frontcourt minutes.

    Tillman (knee) will not play in Friday's matchup with the Lakers.

  • Grizzlies' Xavier Tillman: Unlikely to play Friday

    Tillman (knee) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Warriors.

    Tillman was a late scratch for Thursday's matchup due to his knee injury, and he'll likely remain sidelined for the second half of the back-to-back set. If he's out again, Santi Aldama and Jaren Jackson are candidates to see increased run.

  • Grizzlies' Xavier Tillman: Not expected to play

    Tillman (knee) is doubtful to play in Thursday's game against the Cavaliers.

    This injury was reported a few minutes after tipoff. Santi Aldama started in the frontcourt next to Jaren Jackson and is likely going to see a hefty workload Thursday evening.

  • Grizzlies' Xavier Tillman: Back to bench Thursday

    Tillman has been relegated back to the bench for Thursday's game against Cleveland.

    Tillman has been replaced in the starting unit by Vince Williams, who missed Monday's game against the Kings due to a knee injury. Tillman will likely return to his role as the big man on the second unit, backing up Jaren Jackson.

  • Grizzlies' Xavier Tillman: Serviceable performance in start

    Tillman contributed 10 points (5-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists and three steals across 37 minutes during Monday's 103-94 loss to Sacramento.

    Tillman moved back into the starting lineup, turning in his best performance in almost two weeks. Since returning from a one-game absence, Tillman had been coming off the bench. A plethora of injuries allowed him to up his playing time, eclipsing 30 minutes. While there is no certainty regarding his role, Tillman is worth keeping an eye on.

  • Grizzlies' Xavier Tillman: Enters starting five

    Tillman is starting Monday's game against the Kings.

    Tillman will draw his first start since Jan. 18 due to the absence of multiple key rotation players, including Vince Williams (knee), Luke Kennard (knee), John Konchar (ankle) and Marcus Smart (finger). Tillman gets the nod at center, while Jaren Jackson bumps over to power forward and Santi Aldama starts at small forward.

  • Grizzlies' Xavier Tillman: Passive performance in win

    Tillman finished Friday's 107-106 win over the Magic with five points (2-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, two blocks and one steal over 13 minutes.

    Tillman continues to play limited minutes off the bench, ending with just five points in 13 minutes. Since returning from injury, Tillman has been unable to find any rhythm on the offensive end. His defensive production is offering a small amount of upside, albeit in slightly deeper formats.
