Despite a stroke of optimism from Brad Stevens’ answers yesterday in regards to Kemba Walker and Payton Pritchard’s availability today, both will be out tonight on the second night of a back-to-back as the Boston Celtics take on the Sacramento Kings.
#NEBHInjuryReport for tonight vs. Sacramento:
Romeo Langford (right wrist surgery rehab) - OUT
Payton Pritchard (right MCL sprain) - OUT
Marcus Smart (left calf tear) - OUT
Kemba Walker (left knee injury management) - OUT— Boston Celtics (@celtics) February 3, 2021Last night, Brad Stevens didn’t completely shut the door on Kemba Walker playing tonight, but it should be no surprise to any that Walker isn’t available to play in back-to-backs yet this year.
