Sliding to bench Monday Gonzalez won't start against the Pacers on Monday, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.

Impact With Sam Hauser (hamstring) back in the lineup after a one-game absence, Gonzalez will slide to the second unit. Over six appearances (one start) so far this month, the rookie first-rounder has averaged 2.7 points and 4.2 rebounds in 15.5 minutes per tilt.

Starting sans Hauser Gonzalez will start against the Spurs on Saturday, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.

Impact The rookie first-rounder will get the starting nod for just the second time this season due to Sam Hauser (hamstring) being sidelined. Over five appearances this month, Gonzalez has averaged 3.2 points and 4.2 rebounds in 16.0 minutes per contest, though he'll likely see an uptick in minutes Sunday.

Muted role continues Gonzalez provided five points (1-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and one assist across 12 minutes during Monday's 115-101 victory over the Bulls.

Impact Gonzalez played fewer than 20 minutes for the fourth straight game, continuing his recent downward trend. Boston continues to shuffle its frontcourt rotation, impacting players like Gonzalez, Jordan Walsh, Sam Hauser and Josh Minott. Given the uncertainty, it's hard to trust any of them outside of deeper formats.

Hits rock bottom in win Gonzalez amassed zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in 12 minutes during Friday's 140-122 win over the Pacers.

Impact Gonzalez was terrible Friday, failing to score in just 12 minutes. After seemingly carving out a meaningful role for himself over the past few games, Gonzalez saw his minutes evaporate. Boston is not afraid to shuffle its rotation based on who is playing well on any given night, meaning players like Gonzalez are almost impossible to trust, outside of deeper formats.

Another strong night on boards Gonzalez provided six points (3-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), 11 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal over 37 minutes during Monday's 103-95 win over the Pacers.

Impact Gonzalez was held to single digits in the scoring column after putting up 10 points in two straight contests, but he managed to make an impact on the glass. He also saw his largest workload of the 2025-26 season after averaging 22.0 minutes over his previous four matchups. Gonzalez likely saw a slight uptick in minutes Monday due to the absence of Jordan Walsh (illness), but the rookie should remain a key piece of the team's rotation even after Walsh returns.

First double-double of NBA career Gonzalez recorded 10 points (5-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt), 10 rebounds, two steals and one block over 27 minutes during Boston's 112-96 win over Toronto on Saturday.

Impact Gonzalez played a prominent role off the bench for the second leg of the Celtics' back-to-back set Saturday, in part due to the absence of Jaylen Brown (illness). Gonzalez finished with a game-high plus-37 point differential and co-led Boston in rebounds, en route to the first double-double of his NBA career. The 28th pick of the 2025 NBA Draft has seen his playing time fluctuate in his rookie season, but his energy on both ends of the floor should keep him in the Celtics' rotation in the long term.
