Logs 16 off bench in win Garza accumulated 16 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds and one assist across 19 minutes during Monday's 122-90 win over the Pelicans.

Impact Garza exploded for his first double digit scoring performance this season, which may have been fueled partly by the blowout nature of the game, with Boston pulling its starters in the fourth quarter. Regardless, Garza has shown that he can be an asset among the rotation if given the opportunity, and may possibly be awarded more playing time if he can put up another strong outing.

Active Sunday Garza (concussion) is available for Sunday's game against the Pistons.

Impact After missing Friday's game against the Knicks, Garza has cleared concussion protocol and will suit up Sunday. The big man is unlikely to see much time on the court as the third-string center behind Neemias Queta and Xavier Tillman.

Upgraded to probable Garza (concussion) is probable for Sunday's game against the Pistons, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

Impact Garza missed Friday's game against the Knicks while in concussion protocol but appears on track to return Sunday. He's unlikely to see heavy minutes, though the center rotation among him, Neemias Queta and Xavier Tillman is far from settled.

Celtics give update after new center exits game vs. 76ers with injury Boston Celtics center Luka Garza has been ruled out of Wednesday's season opener after entering concussion protocol.

Enters concussion protocol Garza has entered the league-mandated concussion protocol testing and he will not return to Wednesday's game against the 76ers, Souichi Terada of The Springfield Republican reports...

Impact Garza collided with Adam Bona during the second quarter, and now that he's been diagnosed with a concussion, he'll need to clear a series of tests before he's allowed to return to the floor. Expect more minutes for Neemias Queta and Xavier Tillman while he's out.

Another strong showing Garza produced 12 points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal across 17 minutes of Friday's 107-105 preseason loss to Toronto.

Impact Neemias Queta made his first appearance of the preseason and was in the first unit, but he had a tough showing with five turnovers and three fouls in 17 minutes. Garza was far more impactful off the bench, and he was coming off a double-double in the preseason opener versus Memphis. While Queta seems to have the edge for now, Garza is making a push to be more involved.

Double-doubles in preseason win Garza finished with 10 points (2-3 FG, 6-9 FT), 10 rebounds and one block in 16 minutes during Wednesday's preseason win over the Grizzlies.

Impact Despite coming off the bench, Garza joined Derrick White as the only two Boston players to record a double-double. With Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford both shipped out during the offseason, the starting center spot is seemingly up for grabs. While it does appear as though Neemias Queta could get first crack at the role, this performance by Garza should at least keep him in the running. The position battle is something to keep an eye on, even once the regular season begins.
