Gonzalez finished Tuesday's 123-117 win over the Knicks with four points (2-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt), five rebounds and one steal across 22 minutes.
Gonzalez logged 20-plus minutes for just the second time this season and saw double-digit minutes for the first time since Nov. 9. However, the rookie struggled to find his groove on the offensive end. Over his last five appearances, the 19-year-old has shot just 3-for-10 from the field.

Celtics' Hugo Gonzalez: Questionable to return
Rotowire
Gonzalez is questionable to return to Tuesday's game against the 76ers due to a left ankle sprain, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Gonzalez is a depth option off the bench for the Celtics who's been heralded for his defensive ability, but he doesn't contribute much in fantasy. If the rookie can't return, look for Baylor Scheierman and Jordan Walsh to see a slight bump in minutes off the bench, depending on the defensive matchups.

The rookie has posted multiple steals in three of six appearances this season, but he remains on the fringes of Boston's rotation and is unlikely to see much playing time when the team is at full strength.

Celtics' Hugo Gonzalez: Picked by Boston
Rotowire
Gonzalez was selected by the Celtics with the No. 28 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.
Gonzalez played in the EuroLeague for Real Madrid last season, an impressive feat for a 19-year-old, appearing in 57 games and averaging just 10 minutes. At 6-foot-6, Gonzalez is a heady wing who plays at his own pace and uses his strong frame to get to his spots. He's a solid passer but can be a bit careless with the ball. Overall, Gonzalez's skill set should translate to the NBA, though he'll need to refine certain parts of his game before making an impact on the Celtics, who are in limbo after Jayson Tatum's (Achilles) injury.
