Celtics Unveil Extensive Injury Report Ahead of Hornets Clash
The Boston Celtics head into a four-game road trip Sunday. They visit the Charlotte Hornets after back-to-back home wins over the Oklahoma City Thunder and Atlanta Hawks.
Boston released an extensive injury report before Sunday’s Hornets clash. The list, issued Saturday, left several key players listed as questionable.
Who is listed as questionable
- Jayson Tatum — listed for Achilles management and marked questionable.
- Jaylen Brown — listed with left Achilles tendonitis and marked questionable.
- Neemias Queta — listed with a right thumb sprain and marked questionable.
- Derrick White — listed with a right knee contusion and marked questionable.
A tweet from reporter Noa Dalzell on March 28, 2026 reiterated those statuses. The four names represent four of the five usual starters.
Other absences
Center Nikola Vucevic remains sidelined. He is out with a fractured right ring finger.
Recent game availability and context
Jaylen Brown did not play in Friday’s win over the Hawks due to left Achilles tendinitis. He could miss Sunday’s contest as well.
Jayson Tatum returned from an earlier Achilles injury in early March. Since returning, he missed only one game and logged seven consecutive appearances.
Neemias Queta and Derrick White both played Friday yet were still listed as questionable. Queta has not missed a game since March 2. White has missed only three games this season.
Coaching considerations
Coach Joe Mazzulla faces back-to-back scheduling. Boston plays again Monday in Atlanta.
Mazzulla may opt to rest starters Sunday to preserve players for the second night. The lengthy report raises the possibility that Boston will be without several top contributors.
