Celtics Starter Questionable for Wednesday's Game vs. Hawks

After missing Sunday's 131-91 win against the Memphis Grizzlies, Marcus Smart's first return trip to TD Garden, due to lower back tightness, Jaylen Brown participated in Tuesday's practice.

After doing so, his name is nowhere to be found on the Boston Celtics' first injury report ahead of Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Hawks, whose star guard, Trae Young, earned an All-Star Game selection as a fill-in. Derrick White and Kristaps Porzingis did not.

But getting back to Wednesday's matchup, as the hosts, an NBA-leading 38-12, prepare to welcome their 22-38 visitors, who are tenth in the Eastern Conference, the status of one of their starters is uncertain.

The Celtics list two-time All-Star Jrue Holiday as questionable for the contest due to a right elbow sprain.

The former UCLA Bruin is averaging 13.1 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 4.6 assists this season. He's also drilling 42.3 percent of the 4.8 threes he's hoisting and quarterbacking Boston's defense.

Wednesday's tilt against Atlanta will tip off at 7:30 p.m. EST. Inside The Celtics will have content related to the game before, during, and afterward. Follow @BobbyKrivitsky on Twitter for updates and analysis from pregame to post.
