Top Celtics News

  • Celtics' Jayson Tatum: Season debut expected Friday

    Tatum (Achilles) is listed questionable for Friday's game against the Mavericks, with Shams Charania of ESPN relaying that the forward is expected to make his season debut.

    Per Charania, Tatum "has been described as ready to go" less than 10 months after undergoing surgery for a ruptured right Achilles tendon, and the six-time All-Star appears likely to debut Friday at home versus Boston if he makes it through shootaround without issue. Tatum, who has been a full participant in 5-on-5 scrimmages for more than a week, is likely to face a significant minutes restriction if he plays Friday. Expect the Celtics to manage Tatum's playing time carefully for the remainder of the regular season with the hope that he's capable of handling something closer to full workload by the time the postseason gets underway.

  • Celtics' Ron Harper: Garbage-time special

    Harper posted zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) across seven minutes during Wednesday's 118-89 loss to the Hornets.

    Harper logged seven minutes during garbage time as Boston was blown off the court by Charlotte. Although Harper has seen the court in 10 of the past 12 games, he has been unable to produce anything of note, averaging just 4.2 points and 2.4 rebounds per game during that span.

  • Celtics' Payton Pritchard: Drops donut in heavy loss

    Pritchard racked up zero points (0-6 FG, 0-5 3Pt) and two rebounds in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 118-89 loss to the Hornets.

    Pritchard went scoreless for the second time in the past three games, continuing what has been a weird stretch. It's been night and day over his past six games, as he's scored no more than eight points in four appearances while dropping 22 and 25 points in the other two contests. He remains a clear hold, although managers would love to see him add some consistency to his game.

  • Celtics' Baylor Scheierman: Meaningful role continues

    Scheierman posted nine points (3-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and five assists over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 118-89 loss to the Hornets.

    Scheierman played at least 30 minutes for the third time in the past six games, continuing to function as a member of the starting lineup. Although his playing time has been encouraging, he has yet to take full advantage of the situation. In eight games over the past two weeks, he has barely been a top 200 player in nine-category leagues, averaging 9.1 points and 4.9 rebounds in 27.4 minutes per game.

  • Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Double-doubles in blowout loss

    Brown supplied 20 points (7-19 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 11 rebounds and seven assists across 34 minutes in Wednesday's 118-89 loss to the Hornets.

    Brown missed Monday's win over Milwaukee due to an illness but returned to action Wednesday. The star forward struggled with efficiency but still extended his streak of 20-plus-point performances to 22, albeit in a losing effort. He also led the Celtics in rebounds and assists. He has recorded two double-doubles and a triple-double across six outings since the All-Star break, and he has dished out at least seven dimes in five of those six games.

  • Celtics' Nikola Vucevic: Moving to bench Wednesday

    Vucevic won't start Wednesday's game against the Hornets, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.

    With Neemias Queta (rest) back in the lineup, Vucevic will slide to the second unit. Over his last five appearances off the bench, the veteran big man has averaged 11.6 points, 8.6 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 21.8 minutes per contest.

  • Celtics' Hugo Gonzalez: Not starting Wednesday

    Gonzalez won't start against the Hornets on Wednesday, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.

    With Jaylen Brown (illness) back in the lineup, Gonzalez will revert to a bench role. The rookie first-rounder has averaged 4.7 points and 3.2 rebounds in 13.8 minutes per game over his last six appearances off the bench.

  • Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Available for Wednesday

    Brown (illness) is not on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Hornets, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

    After missing Monday's win over the Bucks, Brown is no longer on the injury report. With this news, Payton Pritchard and Derrick White will likely see less usage for the Celtics.

  • Celtics' Neemias Queta: Cleared from injury report

    Queta (rest) is off the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Hornets, per Keith Smith of Spotrac.com.

    The Celtics gave Queta the night off during Monday's win over the Bucks, but the 26-year-old big man is ready to return to the floor Wednesday and figures to send Nikola Vucevic back to the bench. Over his past five appearances, Queta is averaging 13.8 points, 9.6 rebounds, 2.0 blocks and 1.6 assists in 24.6 minutes per contest while shooting a robust 69.2 percent from the field.

  • Celtics' Sam Hauser: Notches 14 points in win

    Hauser ended Monday's 108-81 victory over Milwaukee with 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-8 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 29 minutes.

    Hauser continues to be a steady source of three-pointers in fantasy formats, but his upside is limited elsewhere. Over his last seven games, he's averaging 11.3 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 2.7 three-pointers in 27.8 minutes per contest.

  • Celtics' Payton Pritchard: Big night vs. Milwaukee

    Pritchard closed with 25 points (10-23 FG, 5-10 3Pt), four rebounds and nine assists in 34 minutes during Monday's 108-81 victory over the Bucks.

    Pritchard responded in a big way after being held scoreless in Sunday's win over the Sixers. He was particularly dialed in from beyond the arc, where he tacked on 15 of his 25 points. Pritchard was also effective as a distributor, as he posted his highest assist total since Dec. 20.

  • Celtics' Luka Garza: Grabs 10 boards Monday

    Garza racked up seven points (3-6 FG, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds and one assist across 20 minutes during Monday's 108-81 win over the Bucks.

    Garza saw meaningful minutes, with Neemias Queta given the night off for rest purposes. Although Garza had been trending up prior to the trade deadline, the acquisition of Nikola Vucevic put an end to any fantasy upside he might have had. For now, he should be looked at as nothing more than a schedule-based streaming consideration.

  • Celtics' Max Shulga: Rare appearance in win

    Shulga contributed no counting stats across two minutes during Monday's 108-81 victory over Milwaukee.

    Shulga appeared for just the second time this season, both of which have come during garbage time. The 57th pick in the 2025 draft is buried on the depth chart in Boston, making him a non-factor in all fantasy formats.

  • Celtics' Hugo Gonzalez: Career-best performance

    Gonzalez provided 18 points (7-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-3 FT), 16 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and three steals across 35 minutes during Monday's 108-81 victory over the Bucks.

    Gonzalez came out of nowhere, recording his second double-double of the season, in what was easily the best performance of his young career. With Jaylen Brown (illness) taking the night off, Gonzalez moved into the starting lineup for just the third time all year. While this was certainly a strong effort, there is no need to overreact, given that he had scored more than five points only twice in his previous 13 games.
