The Boston Celtics could be very banged up after their tilt with the Phoenix Suns on Saturday. But more likely, the lengthy injury report in front of them is an artifact of the Portland Trail Blazers‘ record and Boston’s need to get in some rest for key players ahead of the postseason.
For Boston, star big man Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) and reserve wing Svi Mykhailiuk (personal reasons) will sit, and star forward Jayson Tatum (ankle impingement), starting point guard Derrick White (hand sprain), veteran combo guard Jrue Holiday (knee tendinopathy), and star swingman Jaylen Brown (sacroiliac strain) are listed as questionable.
