Updated Injury Report: Boston Celtics vs. Brooklyn Nets
The Brooklyn Nets and Boston Celtics are set to face off in an Eastern Conference showdown on Wednesday night. The Celtics have created some separation from Brooklyn after the Nets made a real surge towards the top of the conference, but this game is still consequential.
The Nets are still awaiting the return of Kevin Durant, but they are mostly healthy outside of his absence. Ben Simmons and T.J. Warren both remain out for this game against the Celtics, but Brooklyn did make a recent update to their injury report by listing Yuta Watanabe as available. The sharpshooter was previously without a final status for this game, as he had been experiencing some back tightness.
For the Celtics, their injury report has also been updated, as Robert Williams is now available. Thin in the front court, Boston really needs a healthy Robert Williams for this game. The team has reportedly been in the market for front court depth ahead of this year's trade deadline, but for now they are incredibly reliant on both Williams and Al Horford.
The Nets have been finding ways to win without Kevin Durant over the last two weeks, and will have to really dig deep if they want to grab a win against Boston in this one. Kyrie Irving has been playing great basketball, and will look to keep that up against his former team.
