The Celtics are finishing their back-to-back set of road games on Monday night with a stop in Sacramento to take on the Kings. After missing the Celtics’ last three games, Jaylen Brown ($8,400; knee) was listed as questionable for the contest and could be ready to get back on the floor for the defending champs.
Injury Report for tonight at Sacramento:
Jaylen Brown (right knee posterior impingement) – QUESTIONABLE
Sam Hauser (low back stiffness) – QUESTIONABLE
Al Horford (left big toe sprain) – OUT
Xavier Tillman (left knee joint sprain) – OUT— Boston Celtics (@celtics) March 24, 2025
Brown was limited to 10 and eight points in his last two games before the injury, but hopefully, the few games off will have him back to 100% down the stretch. In his 56 games on the season, Brown averaged 40.4 fantasy points in 35.1 minutes per contest, and had over 40 fantasy points in five straight games before the two down games and three absences.
If he does return, he won’t be the only Celtics starter back in the lineup. Jrue Holiday ($5,800) and Kristaps Porzingis ($8,200) are not on the injury report after missing Sunday’s win over the Trail Blazers, so both veterans should be back in the starting five following their one-game absences.
Al Horford (toe) is out, though, which should open up minutes for Luke Kornet ($4,400) behind Porzingis. Sam Hauser ($4,200; back) could also see more work if he can play through his own questionable tag.
