Heading into the season, there were some serious questions surrounding the Boston Celtics’ frontcourt. Danilo Gallinari tore his ACL at EuroBasket, Robert Williams underwent arthroscopic knee surgery at the end of the offseason, Al Horford was set to take on a smaller role, and Blake Griffin was signed to provide Boston with added depth.
Now, as things stand halfway through January, Gallinari is unlikely to make a return this year, Williams has returned, Horford is playing more minutes than he has since the 2017-18 season, and Griffin has assumed an end-of-the-bench role.
