With five games remaining in the regular season, the Celtics can still improve upon their league-best record. The Celtics are almost done with the regular season. Prior to their Sunday game against the Blazers at TD Garden at 6 p.m., they had three players on the injury report.
Both Jaylen Brown (left hand sprain) and Jayson Tatum (right knee contusion) are doubtful. Jaden Springer’s left knee tendinopathy raises additional concerns. It should come as no surprise that Brown and Tatum are ranked as the C’s because they will receive rest for the remaining games of the regular season.
Notably, Derrick White has been removed from the injury report due to a low back contusion that kept him out of the Kings game. Although it doesn’t sound serious, Brown is nonetheless recorded as having a hand injury. Although Joe Mazzulla, the coach of the C’s, stated that they are managing the injury, it is not major.
You should anticipate Mazzulla to employ his rotations much as he did against the Kings on Friday. The bench saw a lot of playing time because the starters were replaced early in the fourth quarter. The C’s had a sizable lead, but Xavier Tillman’s game-winning basket required the depth to stay firm.
