Celtics injury update: Jaylen Brown, Robert Williams III upgraded ahead of Heat tilt
There’s a little good news to be had in the injury department for the Boston Celtics ahead of a critical game against the Miami Heat — both All-Star forward Jaylen Brown and starting big man Robert Williams III have been upgraded on the team’s latest injury report.
Brown missed the Celtics’ 121 – 99 loss to the Chicago Bulls on Friday with a right ankle sprain, and Williams with turf toe (a sprained joint in one’s foot) in his left foot, the loss putting the team in a much more precarious position for postseason seeding. Now, The Georgia native has been listed as questionable and Timelord as probably for the early-afternoon tilt with the Heat.
Boston will need to weigh whether rest or a likely trip to the NBA’s play-in game are more important for both players moving forward, with solid arguments for both perspectives depending on what one believes this team’s realistic postseason ceiling is.
