Luke Kornet Doubtful On Saturday
7 months agoBoston Celtics center Luke Kornet (wrist) is unlikely to suit up for Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals versus the Pacers on Saturday night. Kristaps Porzingis (calf) has been sidelined for nearly a month because of a right Soleus strain, so Kornet has been getting more work. However, he injured his wrist in Game 2 on Saturday night and didn't return. With that said, there's a chance Xavier Tillman Sr. and Oshae Brissett could get on the floor more than they have during the playoffs. But there's also the possibility of the Celtics going small, resulting in more minutes for Payton Pritchard and Sam Hauser. Of course, Al Horford will remain starting in the middle.
