Returning to bench role Kornet is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Suns, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Impact The Celtics will play a very strong lineup for this matchup against the Suns, so Kornet will return to his regular role as a depth option in the frontcourt. Kristaps Porzingis will start in this game, and Al Horford will also be available off the bench, so Kornet isn't expected to see many minutes.

Promoted to starting role Kornet is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Heat, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Impact The Celtics will be shorthanded in the frontcourt due to the absences of Al Horford (toe) and Kristaps Porzingis (illness), so Kornet will get the start at center. The big man is averaging 9.1 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per game in his previous 12 starts this season.

Removed from injury report Kornet (illness) is not listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against Miami, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Impact Kornet missed Monday's tilt against Memphis due to an illness, but he's set to be available for Wednesday. With Kristaps Porzingis (reconditioning) questionable and Al Horford (toe) doubtful to play against the Heat, Kornet may be asked to make a spot start in the middle. Kornet averaged 7.2 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.1 blocks in 22.2 minutes through 14 games last month.

Impact Kornet will miss his first game since Feb. 26 due to an illness. His next chance to play will come Wednesday against Miami. Neemias Queta and Torrey Craig are candidates for a slight uptick in playing time due to Kornet being sidelined.

Questionable for Monday Kornet (illness) is questionable for Monday's game against Memphis, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Boston Celtics backup big man Luke Kornet just destroyed the San Antonio Spurs Kornet had 15 points, 16 rebounds -- the most he has ever pulled down at the NBA level -- 4 assists, and a steal.

MARCH 31, 2025 • USATODAY.COM

Season-best effort on glass Kornet logged 15 points (7-10 FG, 1-2 FT), 16 rebounds, four assists and one steal in 31 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 121-111 victory over the Spurs.

Impact The 16 boards were a season high for Kornet, who hadn't pulled down double-digit rebounds in a game since he made a spot start Feb. 8 against the Knicks. The 29-year-old center's role on the second unit makes him an unreliable fantasy option, but he's been a little more consistent of late, scoring in double digits in four of the last seven contests while averaging 8.3 points, 7.3 boards, 1.6 assists and 1.1 blocks in 21.1 minutes while shooting 73.0 percent from the floor.
