Hugo González News, Rumors, Updates - Boston Celtics

Ruled out versus Orlando Gonzalez (foot) is out for Sunday's game against Orlando, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Impact Gonzalez would have been a favorite to start in the final game of the regular season. However, he won't suit up due to a bone bruise in his right foot. With the Celtics likely down all of their starters, Ron Harper might slide into the starting lineup.

May not play Sunday Gonzalez is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Magic due to right foot pain, Bobby Krivitsky of Forbes.com reports.

Impact The rookie first-rounder was slated to serve in an expanded role due to the Celtics resting all of their starters, including Jayson Tatum (Achilles), Jaylen Brown (Achilles) and Derrick White (knee). However, Gonzalez's late addition to Boston's injury report doesn't bode well for his chances of playing in Sunday's regular-season finale. Jordan Walsh, Max Shulga, Ron Harper and Dalano Banton would all see a slight uptick in minutes if Gonzalez is not cleared to play.

Logs 25 minutes Friday Gonzalez provided 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and three steals over 25 minutes during Friday's 144-118 win over the Pelicans.

Impact Gonzalez didn't suit up in the Celtics' previous two contests heading into Friday's meeting with the Pelicans. He logged over 20 minutes for the first time since the 104-102 loss to Oklahoma City on March 12, which was also his last double-digit scoring effort. With Boston locking up the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference for the playoffs, Gonzalez might find himself in the starting lineup for the season-finale versus Orlando. However, the 20-year-old could have a tough time getting on the floor during the postseason.

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.

Hugo Gonzalez has hit a bizarre rookie wall at the worst time for the Celtics It's not like he's doing much wrong, but for some reason, the Celtics have been much worse when he's on the floor lately.

Barely visible in win Gonzalez accumulated three points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt) and two rebounds in seven minutes during Friday's 109-102 victory over the Hawks.

Impact Gonzalez logged no more than 10 minutes for the fifth time in the past seven games, during which time he has been well and truly outside the top 300 in nine-category leagues. While he has had pockets of value throughout the season, the return of Jayson Tatum basically signaled the end for Gonzalez's fantasy aspirations, at least for this season.

Impact With Jayson Tatum (Achilles) getting a maintenance day, Gonzalez saw a significant workload on the second unit and scored in double digits for only the fourth time since the calendar flipped to 2026. The rookie forward has played 25-plus minutes in the last three games Tatum has missed, averaging 12.3 points, 9.0 boards, 2.0 threes, 1.7 steals, 1.7 blocks and 1.0 assists in 29.3 minutes.

Celtics continue to look genius with latest Hugo Gonzalez breakout performance Hugo Gonzalez's career night propelled the short-handed Celtics to victory over the Bucks.

MARCH 3 • HARDWOODHOUDINI.COM

Career-best performance Gonzalez provided 18 points (7-15 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-3 FT), 16 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and three steals across 35 minutes during Monday's 108-81 victory over the Bucks.

Impact Gonzalez came out of nowhere, recording his second double-double of the season, in what was easily the best performance of his young career. With Jaylen Brown (illness) taking the night off, Gonzalez moved into the starting lineup for just the third time all year. While this was certainly a strong effort, there is no need to overreact, given that he had scored more than five points only twice in his previous 13 games.

Rejoins parent club The Celtics recalled Gonzalez from the G League's Maine Celtics following Monday's practice.

Impact Gonzalez and fellow rookie Amari Williams reported to Maine on Monday to practice with the G League squad as well as the rehabbing Jayson Tatum, who was cleared to take part in portions of the session in what marked a major milestone in his rehab program for his surgically repaired Achilles. As expected, Gonzalez was immediately recalled following the session, so he'll be available for the Celtics' next game Wednesday versus the Bulls.

Fails to fire in win Gonzalez provided two points (1-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four rebounds and one assist across 22 minutes during Friday's 112-93 win over the Kings.

Impact Gonzalez offered very little in the way of tangible production, scoring no more than three points for the third time in the past four games. It's been an interesting rookie campaign thus far for Gonzalez, full of ups and downs. However, the downs have certainly outnumbered the ups, with Gonzalez averaging just 4.1 points and 2.2 rebounds in 15.3 minutes per game, through his first 43 appearances.
