Celtics Stars Available for Monday's Game vs. Trail Blazers
The Boston Celtics are nearing the end of a five-game road trip. Their extended stay away from TD Garden concludes with a back-to-back against the Portland Trail Blazers and Utah Jazz.
The C's, a league-leading 49-14, initially released a lengthy injury report ahead of Monday's matchup at the Moda Center. But a day later, their updates on the health front are mainly positive.
After listing Jayson Tatum as questionable due to a right ankle impingement, he has the green light to play in Portland. Jaylen Brown, who's dealing with a sacroiliac strain, will also suit up.
Derrick White, initially considered questionable because of a left-hand sprain, is available for Monday's tilt vs. the Trail Blazers.
However, the Celtics have ruled out Jrue Holiday due to left knee tendinopathy. Right hamstring tightness will sideline Kristaps Porzingis for the second straight game. Svi Mykhailiuk is inactive due to personal reasons.
