With the starting front court injured for tonight's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, who will the Celtics turn to?

Amir Johnson (plantar fasciitis in left foot) and Jared Sullinger (back spasms) are both out for tonight's game.

Per Scott Souza, Amir's plantar was a known issue this weekend, but Sullinger did not complain about back pain after practice yesterday. Both injuries are a little concerning. Plantar fasciitis can be a lingering issue if not completely eliminated when it flares up.
