Top Celtics News

  • Celtics' Jayson Tatum: Available to make season debut

    Tatum (Achilles) will make his season debut Friday against Dallas, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

    Tatum is officially off the injury report and will make his return to the court after 10 months of rehab. He's returning ahead of schedule and has been playing 5-on-5 at practices for the past month. Needless to say, but he's likely to have some restrictions right out of the gate.

  • Celtics' Jordan Walsh: Questionable for Friday

    Walsh (illness) is questionable for Friday's game against Dallas.

    Walsh was a very late addition to the injury report. He's been averaging 13.0 minutes over his last seven appearances, and minutes will be hard to come by with Jayson Tatum (Achilles) targeting his debut against Dallas.

  • 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.
