Boston Celtics Injuries
Derrick White Avoids Major Injury, Listed As Probable Monday
Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (neck) is listed as probable to play Monday against the Charlotte Hornets. White left their previous game with a neck strain after only playing four minutes. The injury, however, appears to not be serious as White will likely not miss any additional game time. If White suffers any setbacks, look for Malcolm Brogdon to pick up the slack. Brogdon scored 30 points when White was forced out of their last game.
Jaylen Brown Remains Out Monday
Boston Celtics forward Jaylen Brown (adductor) will not play Monday against the Charlotte Hornets. Brown continues to deal with some lingering soreness and will miss his third straight game. With Brown out, the rest of the starters will likely see the biggest impact with Jayson Tatum leading the way on offense. Malcolm Brogdon may see a few more opportunities as the first man off the bench.
Derrick White Suffers Neck Injury On Saturday
Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (neck) was injured during the win over the Charlotte Hornets. The former Spur logged only four minutes before suffering a neck strain resulting from a collision with Marcus Smart. It's certainly possible White may miss some games because of the ailment, which wouldn't be ideal considering the C's have also been without Jaylen Brown (adductor). As a result, Malcolm Brogdon, who had 30 points and shot 11-for-17 from the field (4-for-6 from deep) on Saturday, may enter the starting lineup if White can't suit up for Monday's rematch and beyond.
Derrick White Exits Early On Saturday
Boston Celtics guard Derrick White (neck) was forced to exit early during Saturday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. The young guard suffered a strained neck when he collided with fellow teammate Marcus Smart. He was on the ground for a few minutes, but eventually headed to the locker room. Malcolm Brogdon and Payton Pritchard would be asked to help fill the void, assuming White is forced to miss time from this injury. Brogdon should already be rostered in most fantasy formats with Jaylen Brown (groin) sidelined. Although, Pritchard could have value as well, but is more of a deep league option.
