Injury Report for PHI: Embiid, Maxey, McCain, Lowry, and Gordon are OUT. PG and Edwards are QUESTIONABLE.

No official word from BOS yet. I'm guessing Tatum plays and Brown sits. Craig likely plays too. Hopefully we get KP back but no need to rush either him or Jrue. Horford OUT on 2nd night of B2B.

Three guarantees for today:
1- death
2-taxes
3- Al doesn’t play

I'm not sure about taxes.

Just ask the president. :lol:

Leave Politics out of your comments, please.
It causes too much trouble.

Hauser could be out too, which means H,H, and H possibly/probably out. Maybe Porzingis and someone else too.

A lot of rotation players will not play. Pritchard and White will though.

I will be surprised if Jaylen Brown plays. Don't know if it was his knee, illness or something else but he didn't look right last night. My guess is Tatum plays and Brown sits.

Sixers are tanking, this should be a Celtic win.

Sam Hauser looked like he tweaked an ankle at the close last night, I’m thinking Sam’s out tonight.

good game to give our bench a boost and some much needed burn. Still think we add a player to make our banner 19 run! Tucker would be a solid option. Go C's and "Trust The Process"

Tucker's cooked.

Remember when he was supposed to be a factor for Miami and Philly in the playoffs against the C's? :lol:

Sixers decimated by injuries=loss or 1 point win in OT

Get the win. Easier the better. And more importantly, no one get injured.

I thought the Celtics were going to suffer the curse of Jabari Walker last night. 6 for 6 from three point range off the bench.

Noa Dalzell:

Injury update: Sam Hauser, Jrue Holiday, Jaylen Brown, and other banged up players

The Celtics were without Jrue Holiday (right mallet finger), Kristaps Porzingis (illness), and Jayson Tatum (right shoulder impingement) on the first night of a back-to-back.

Additionally, Sam Hauser asked to be taken out of the game after he appeared to roll his ankle late in the fourth. There was no update on him postgame, but he did have a limp in the locker room after the win, but was walking on his own accord with no boot.

Holiday, who missed his third straight game with a right mallet finger, was doubtful for this one after going through practice on Tuesday. While it appears unlikely he’ll go on Wednesday, he remains day-to-day.

Porzingis missed his fourth game with a non-COVID illness, and though he didn’t seem to be in the building, he was also at practice on Tuesday. With Horford playing on Wednesday, it seems plausible that Porzingis will return tonight against the 76ers and split the back-to-back.

Jaylen Brown played through illness after being previously listed as questionable. Payton Pritchard (left hip flexor tightness) and Derrick White (lower back contusion) were both on the injury report on Tuesday, and both played heavy minutes, the former tallying 43 minutes and the latter 39.
