  • Celtics' Torrey Craig: Won't play Saturday

    Craig is out Saturday's game versus the Knicks due to a right ankle return injury reconditioning, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

    Craig signed with the Celtics earlier this week but won't be available to make his Boston debut Saturday due to a nagging ankle injury. While it's unclear what role the veteran forward will have when available, his next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Miami.

  • Celtics' Jrue Holiday: Remains out for Saturday

    Holiday (shoulder) won't play in Saturday's game versus the Knicks, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

    Holiday will miss his second straight contest Saturday due to a fifth shoulder impingement. Al Horford entered the starting lineup in his absence against Cleveland. Holiday's next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Miami.

  • Celtics' Payton Pritchard: Extended run during garbage time

    Pritchard finished Thursday's 127-120 loss to the Mavericks with 22 points (9-15 FG, 3-9 3Pt), six assists, six rebounds and one block over 33 minutes.

    With Boston down by more than 20 points, head coach Joe Mazulla went with Pritchard and four other Celtics reserves for most of the fourth quarter. Pritchard scored 16 of his 22 points in the final frame, and it was the first time since Jan. 18 against Atlanta that the fifth-year guard reached the 20-point threshold. The Celtics may need that firepower from their Sixth Man of the Year candidate against the Knicks on Saturday.

  • Celtics' Jaylen Brown: Team-high 25 points Thursday

    Brown registered 25 points (9-16 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal over 33 minutes in Thursday's 127-120 loss to the Mavericks.

    Brown was the Celtics' leading scorer Thursday in a game that saw head coach Joe Mazulla empty the bench for most of the fourth quarter. He's scored at least 25 points in four of his last six outings, and he has shot 53.8 percent from the field over that span. Brown and the Celtics will look to get back on track in Saturday's pivotal Atlantic Division clash against the Knicks.

  • Celtics' Al Horford: Does little in spot start

    Horford recorded three points (1-4 FG, 1-3 3Pt), five rebounds and one assist over 21 minutes during Thursday's 127-120 loss to the Mavericks.

    Coming off a strong double-double performance in Tuesday's win against the Cavaliers, Horford was inserted into the Celtics' starting five Thursday due to the absence of Jrue Holiday (shoulder). Horford couldn't replicate the success he found two days prior, with his lone field goal coming on a three-pointer. He could start in Saturday's game against the Knicks if Holiday is not cleared to play.

  • Celtics' Torrey Craig: Set to join Boston

    Craig (ankle) agreed to a contract with the Celtics on Thursday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

    Craig opened the season with the Bulls but hadn't played since late December due to a right lower leg contusion and a right ankle sprain before being waived Monday. After clearing waivers, the veteran forward quickly caught on with Boston, where he'll likely serve in a depth role for the remainder of the season. The 33-year-old journeyman will play for his sixth NBA team once he suits up for the Celtics, with his debut potentially coming as early as Saturday against the Knicks in New York, according to Jared Weiss of The Athletic. He averaged 6.9 points and 2.8 rebounds in 12.6 minutes per game over his nine appearances with Chicago before being cut loose.

  • Celtics' Al Horford: Joins starting lineup Thursday

    Horford will start in Thursday's game against the Mavericks, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

    With Jrue Holiday out with a shoulder injury Thursday, Horford will make his 26th start of the season for the Celtics. Over 25 appearances with Boston's first unit in 2024-25, Horford has averaged 9.4 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 0.8 steals, 0.8 blocks and 2.2 threes in 28.6 minutes. The veteran big man is in line for a boost in fantasy appeal against Dallas.

    Holiday is out for Thursday's game versus the Mavericks, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

    Holiday has been downgraded from questionable to out Thursday due to a right shoulder impingement. Payton Pritchard and Sam Hauser will likely receive increased playing time in his absence. Holiday's next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with the Knicks.
