Jayson Tatum - Out

Hugo González (foot) has been ruled out against the Magic on Sunday.

González will get some extra rest after being a late addition to the injury report. Jordan Walsh and Baylor Scheierman should both play significant roles in this game with so many Celtics sidelined for the regular season finale.

Nikola Vučević (finger) has been ruled out against the Magic on Sunday.

Vučević will be sidelined for this game, as expected. The Celtics already clinched the No. 2 seed in the East, so he’ll get some extra rest before the playoffs. Amari Williams should play a significant role down low.

Sam Hauser (back) has been ruled out against the Magic on Sunday.

As expected, Hauser will be unavailable for this game. Boston has already clinched the No. 2 seed in the East, so there is no reason for Hauser to suit up. Baylor Scheierman and Jordan Walsh should take on much larger roles.

Payton Pritchard (foot) has been ruled out against the Magic on Sunday.

Pritchard was initially listed as doubtful and has now officially been ruled out for this game. Boston is already locked in as the No. 2 seed, so Pritchard will get some extra rest. Ron Harper Jr. should take on a large role with Pritchard out.

Derrick White (knee) and Neemias Queta (toe) are out for Sunday’s game against the Magic.

The Celtics have already ruled out four of their five starters for Sunday’s regular-season finale, as the outcome will not impact their playoff seeding. White’s absence should free up additional minutes for Ron Harper Jr. and Max Shulga. As for Queta, there will be more playing time available for Lu...

Jaylen Brown (Achilles) and Jayson Tatum (Achilles) are out for Sunday’s game against the Magic.

Friday’s win over the Pelicans secured the No. 2 seed for the Celtics, giving them nothing to play for in Sunday’s regular-season finale. Brown and Tatum not playing frees up playing time for Baylor Scheierman, Jordan Walsh, Hugo González and recent signing Dalano Banton.

Celtics signed Dalano Banton to a two-year contract.

Banton, who spent some time with the Celtics on a 10-day contract out of the All-Star break, is returning to Beantown on a two-year deal. The versatile wing has spent most of the 2025-26 season in the G League, appearing in five NBA games for the Clippers and Celtics. With Boston having secured the ...

Neemias Queta (toe) is available to play against the Pelicans on Friday.

Queta was initially listed as probable for this game, and now he has officially been cleared to suit up. He’ll occupy his typical spot in the starting unit for Boston as they look to lock up the second seed in the East.

Derrick White, Jordan Walsh, Sam Hauser, Jayson Tatum and Neemias Queta will start Thursday’s game against the Knicks.

The Celtics won’t have Jaylen Brown for Thursday’s game, as he sits due to an Achilles injury. He’s been replaced in the lineup by Walsh, who will be more valuable defensively than as a scorer. It would be unsurprising if he were given the task of defending Jalen Brunson.

Celtics converted John Tonje to a 10-day contract.

Tonje was dealt to the Celtics as part of the deadline deal that sent Chris Boucher to Utah. He signed a two-way deal with the Jazz in August after they selected him with the 53rd pick in the draft. The former Wisconsin standout is a proven scorer and will be a solid temporary depth piece for Boston...

Marc Stein reported the Celtics signed Amari Williams to a two-year, $2.7 million contract.

Boston selected Williams with the 46th pick last summer and initially signed him to a two-way deal. He has been solid and has earned a standard deal with the team. Most of his rookie year has been in the G League, though he does have two starts for the Celtics under his belt. However, with Nikola Vu...
