Boston Celtics News and Rumors - NBA

Payton Pritchard - Unlikely to play Saturday Pritchard (ankle) is doubtful for Saturday's game against the Hawks, Zack Cox of the Boston Herald reports.

Impact Pritchard is at risk of missing his first game of the 2025-26 season Saturday due to left ankle soreness. The Oregon product is averaging 15.3 points, 6.1 assists, 4.4 rebounds and 1.1 steals through eight contests in January. If he's unable to go, Anfernee Simons, coming off a 39-point performance Thursday against the Heat, is a candidate to move into the starting lineup.

Josh Minott - Another absence coming Minott (ankle) won't play in Saturday's game against the Hawks, Zack Cox of the Boston Herald reports.

Impact Minott is out for a sixth consecutive contest with an ankle sprain and carries no timetable for a return. In the meantime, Luka Garza is taking a strong hold on the backup center job behind Neemias Queta and remains worth streaming in deeper fantasy setups.

Jaylen Brown - Drops 27 points in return Brown finished Thursday's 119-114 win over Miami with 27 points (9-24 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 7-7 FT) and seven rebounds over 30 minutes.

Impact Brown was cleared to return Thursday from a one-game absence due to lower-back spasms. He wasn't the most efficient from the field and committed five turnovers, but he and Anfernee Simons (39 points) carried the Celtics' scoring load en route to a road win that snapped Boston's two-game losing skid. Brown has scored at least 25 points in six of his last seven outings since Jan. 1, and over that span he has averaged 29.3 points, 7.3 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 2.9 threes over 35.5 minutes per game, though he's connected on just 43.9 percent of his field-goal attempts over that span.
