Returning Friday Kornet (personal) is available for Friday's game against the Cavaliers, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Impact Kornet missed the Celtics' last two games while attending to a personal matter, but the veteran center will suit up for Friday's clash against the top team in the Eastern Conference.

Questionable against Cleveland Kornet is questionable for Friday's game against Cleveland due to personal reasons, Zack Cox of the Boston Herald reports.

Impact Kornet has a chance to end a two-game absence Friday. If the big man doesn't rejoin the lineup, however, the Celtics may need Neemias Queta and Xavier Tillman to handle the backup center role. Jaylen Brown (thigh) and Jrue Holiday (finger) are also uncertain to play, so Al Horford could be tasked with a spot start.

He should be able to maintain a 15-minute role moving forward, even more when Porzingis or Horford are sidelined.
