Pistons vs Celtics: Injury Report

Boston Celtics All-Stars Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum have been ruled questionable for Thursday’s game against the Detroit Pistons. Brown is dealing with a lower back contusion while Tatum is iffy due to a left ankle sprain. The Celtics, however, had a two-day rest after beating the LA Lakers on Christmas so the two All-Stars have a chance to play versus the Pistons.

Jayson Tatum sprained his ankle against the Golden State Warriors on Dec. 19. The Celtics decided to sideline him on the second night of a back-to-back set when they took on the Sacramento Kings. Tatum was questionable heading into a contest with the LA Clippers two nights later but was cleared to play.

The Pistons are on the verge of tying the NBA’s longest-ever losing streak.

Killian Hayes (illness) has missed the past four contests, but is again listed as probable for the third straight game. Ausar Thompson (illness) is also listed as probable, but starting power forward Isaiah Stewart (right big toe sprain) is out. Monte Morris (right quad strain) has yet to debut and is out into January.
