Making first career start Peterson is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the 76ers, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Impact The Celtics will rest most of their regulars Thursday, except Jayson Tatum and Derrick White, meaning Peterson will get a spot start here in what'll be the first start of his NBA career. He isn't expected to see a significant role despite the starting role, though, so his fantasy prospects shouldn't improve dramatically.

Removed from injury report Peterson (concussion) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.

Impact Peterson is set to be available for the Celtics on Wednesday after missing the past two games with a concussion. However, the 25-year-old is playing just 9.9 minutes per game over 11 appearances in the NBA this season and isn't a lock to see the court against Toronto.

Out again Sunday Peterson (concussion) won't play Sunday versus the Pelicans.

Impact Peterson will miss a second straight contest for Boston. He's appeared in 11 total games for the Celtics this season, and his absence won't have many fantasy implications.

JANUARY 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Friday Peterson (concussion) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Kings.

Impact Peterson is currently in concussion protocol and won't be ready to return for Friday's matchup with the Kings. The 25-year-old has played in 11 games for the Celtics this season, averaging 3.2 points and 2.1 rebounds per game, shooting 50 percent from the floor and 41.2 percent from beyond the arc.

Gets 20-plus minutes once again Peterson tallied seven points (2-5 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds and one assist in 26 minutes Monday in the Celtics' 108-89 win over the Heat.

Impact After playing just eight total minutes through the Celtics' first 19 games of the season, Peterson has now handled 25- and 26-minute workloads off the bench in Boston's last two contests. A two-way player, Peterson was a standout performer in his two G League stops in 2023-24 and has continued to shine with the Maine Celtics over five appearances in 2024-25, but playing time at the NBA level only recently opened up due to Boston holding out Jaylen Brown and Derrick White in Sunday's loss to the Cavaliers and Jrue Holiday (knee), Kristaps Porzingis (foot), Al Horford (toe) and Sam Hauser (personal) on Monday. All four of those players could return to action for Wednesday's game against the Pistons, so Peterson is likely to find himself back outside of the rotation rather than getting another 20-plus-minute role.
