The Boston Celtics endured a brutal group of injuries over the past few games. Kyrie Irving continues to battle knee soreness. Daniel Theis suffered a season-ending mensiscus tear in the waning seconds of a tight loss to Indiana. In that same game, Marcus Smart tore a ligament in his thumb diving for a loose ball. During the previous game, Jaylen Brown had a frightening fall resulting in a concussion. Al Horford has been sick during the past 2 games. Hard times abound for Boston.
Opportunity Arise from Injuries
All of these injuries leave Boston with few regulars available.
