Given the success of the Hospital Celtics of 2017-18, it probably bodes well for the Boston Celtics of 2020-21 to already be off to a hospital-y start. On that note, Daniel Theis has been downgraded to OUT as the Celtics gear up for their preseason debut against the new-look Philadelphia 76ers.
#NEBHInjuryReport Daniel Theis says his back is still feeling "a little sore" and so he will not play tonight. "It’s early, so there’s no reason to risk anything. Just take it day-by-day."

It’s a little concerning that just after training camp, Theis is experiencing a little soreness.
