Well this is a definitely horrible news.
No one expected this to be serious coming out of last night’s game. The MRI on Theis’ knee was characterized as precautionary.
Instead, it’s a torn meniscus and he’s done.
This hurts a surging Celtics bench because it takes away a very athletic option for Boston. Theis was counted on to be a mobile, switchable defender that would be critical against faster opponents.
