The Boston Celtics have announced significant updates on their injury report ahead of their game against the Detroit Pistons on Sunday afternoon.
Key Injury Updates for Celtics vs. Pistons
Jaylen Brown and Derrick White have been upgraded to available status for the matchup. Brown, who had been listed as questionable due to a left hamstring strain, has completed reconditioning. White has also moved from probable to available after dealing with a right ankle sprain.
Additional Player Status Updates
- Luka Garza is cleared to play following a short stint in concussion protocols.
- Garza missed a previous game against the Knicks after a head injury sustained against the 76ers.
- Jayson Tatum remains sidelined due to an Achilles injury.
Celtics’ Start to the Season
The Celtics currently hold a 0-2 record as they aim to secure their first win. Brown initially suffered his hamstring strain during the preseason finale against the Toronto Raptors on October 15. Although he played in the season opener against the Philadelphia 76ers, his status was a concern heading into this matchup.
With a back-to-back schedule, including a game against the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday, the Celtics may consider resting Brown in their upcoming game.
Pistons’ Current Performance
The Detroit Pistons enter the game with a 1-1 record after a recent victory over the Houston Rockets. This presents a challenging competition for the Celtics, who will need to contend with standout guard Cade Cunningham, a previous All-NBA selection.
The game is set to kick off at 3:30 p.m., and both teams will be looking to establish momentum as the season progresses.
