Hugo González - Exits rotation Wednesday Gonzalez (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Wednesday in the Celtics' 147-129 win over the Heat.

Impact The rookie first-round pick is averaging just 14.8 minutes per game, but he had been a consistent part of head coach Joe Mazzulla's rotation throughout the season until he fell out of the mix Wednesday. Mazzulla ended up going with Baylor Scheierman (18 minutes) and Jordan Walsh (five minutes) as the team's reserve options on the wing and at forward, resulting in Gonzalez being handed his first DNP-CD since Nov. 29. Gonzalez could eventually re-emerge as an option on the second unit, but he's unlikely to be in line for extended playing time if he reclaims a rotation spot.

Max Shulga - Plays in garbage time Wednesday Shulga recorded no statistics while playing the final eight seconds of Wednesday's 147-129 win over the Heat.

Impact Shulga arrived in Miami in time for Wednesday's game, after he had suited up for the G League's Maine Celtics a night earlier in the affiliate's playoff loss to the Greensboro Swarm. With Maine having been eliminated from the postseason, Shulga will remain with Boston moving forward but is unlikely to see minutes outside of garbage-time scenarios or games in which the team is resting multiple rotation players.
