On Thursday night, the Boston Celtics are set to face off against the Oklahoma City Thunder in a highly anticipated game. Oklahoma City has been performing well in the Western Conference, thanks to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, as the regular season approaches its end.
The Celtics have remained steady, with Jaylen Brown showing impressive form recently. However, there are concerns about player availability ahead of this match.
Celtics may lack key players against Thunder
The latest injury report indicates that Payton Pritchard is probable due to a neck spasm, while Jayson Tatum is questionable as he continues to recover from right Achilles surgery.
Nikola Vucevic is out with a fracture in his right ring finger, and Derrick White is also listed as questionable due to a right knee contusion.
If Tatum and White are unable to play, Boston may struggle against the defending NBA champions.
