Positive injury news regarding the players in their regular rotation is still coming in for the Celtics. Prior to the game against the Pacers on Wednesday, only big man Neemias Queta was named. Due to right foot pain, Queta, who missed Monday’s victory over the Wizards, was upgraded to questionable.
From training camp until the first several weeks of the season, the C’s have not released many updates regarding injuries. Due to plantar fasciitis, Kristaps Porzingis was forced to miss the FIBA World Cup, which raised some questions. But he’s been strong and a key player for the Celtics from the start.
After blowing out the Wizards in their most recent game, Boston is now 3-0 for the season. The Celtics are hoping to win the championship this season, and there have been a lot of encouraging signs thus far. Thus far, the injury front has worked to their advantage, and they haven’t skipped any steps.
Going forward, it is reasonable to anticipate that the Celtics will rotate their starting lineups owing to player rests or injuries. That’s the reality of an 82-game season because teams will take preventative measures to guarantee the health of their players.

Even though he won’t play much once the C’s are recovered, he should provide good depth to the team’s thin front court. Another encouraging indicator that the soreness isn’t substantial is the fact that he was moved from probable to doubtful.
