The Boston Celtics are set to kick off their playoff journey on Sunday against the Philadelphia 76ers. As everyone gears up for the game, the big question has been about player availability, and now the answer is finally clear.
Boston announced its injury report on Saturday afternoon, and there were no players listed as injured. The report indicated that everything was clear.
The Celtics have faced several injuries this season, the most significant being Jayson Tatum missing a large part of the season due to a torn Achilles tendon. Fortunately, he returned in early March. Tatum wasn’t the only one dealing with injury issues; Jaylen Brown also missed a few games due to Achilles tendinitis, and center Nikola Vučević also missed about a month with a hand injury.
Boston will now have a chance to field its full squad, and it will be interesting to see how the Celtics perform at full strength.
If the Celtics can stay healthy throughout the playoffs, they should be the team to beat in the Eastern Conference. However, it’s more important to take one series at a time, starting with eliminating the 76ers.
