Mitchell Robinson Cleared to Play Sunday Against Bucks
Boston Celtics center Mitchell Robinson (illness) is available for Sunday's matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks after entering the day as questionable. The 28-year-old is averaging 5.8 points and 5.5 rebounds in 18.9 minutes and has recently shifted to a reserve role behind Neemias Queta. Robinson has still made an impact on the glass, grabbing 10 rebounds Wednesday against Milwaukee and seven Friday against Charlotte. His limited playing time keeps the fantasy ceiling modest, but he remains capable of providing useful rebounds and defensive production in a short bench role.

Payton Pritchard Good to Go Versus Charlotte
Boston Celtics guard Payton Pritchard (eye) is available for Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets after being upgraded from questionable. Pritchard left Wednesday's win over Milwaukee with an abrasion after posting 10 points and five assists on 4-for-7 shooting in 18 minutes. The 28-year-old is averaging 13.0 points, 3.6 assists and 2.8 rebounds while shooting 41.8 percent from the field and 31.0 percent from three. His return keeps Boston's second-unit backcourt intact as the Celtics open a four-game road trip.

Payton Pritchard Carries Questionable Tag for Friday
Boston Celtics guard Payton Pritchard (eye) is questionable for Friday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. Pritchard left Wednesday's win over Milwaukee with a right eye abrasion, though head coach Joe Mazzulla said afterward that he appeared to be okay. The former Sixth Man of the Year is averaging 13.0 points, 3.6 assists, and 2.8 rebounds while shooting 31.0% from three. If Pritchard sits, Mike Conley and Baylor Scheierman could see more minutes, though Jayson Tatum's return should limit the extra scoring opportunities available.

Payton Pritchard Exits with Right-Eye Abrasion
Boston Celtics guard Payton Pritchard (eye) did not return to Wednesday's 109-102 win over the Milwaukee Bucks after suffering a right eye abrasion. Pritchard finished with 10 points, five assists, and one rebound on 4-for-7 shooting in 18 minutes before leaving in the third quarter. Head coach Joe Mazzulla said afterward that Pritchard appeared to be okay and would be checked again Thursday. The former Sixth Man of the Year was already playing through a right shoulder contusion and is averaging 13.0 points this season. If he can't play Friday at Charlotte, Baylor Scheierman and Mike Conley could pick up some extra minutes.

Payton Pritchard Available for Wednesday's Game Against Bucks
Boston Celtics guard Payton Pritchard (shoulder) is available for Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks after carrying a questionable tag with a right shoulder contusion. Pritchard has struggled over his last two games, scoring seven points on 3-for-11 shooting against Orlando before going 0-for-7 for four points Monday in Houston. The 28-year-old is averaging 13.4 points and 3.4 assists in 27.9 minutes through seven games. With Jayson Tatum (rest) out Wednesday, Pritchard should have a few more shots available alongside Paul George as he looks to work his way out of the slump.

Tatum is averaging 27.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 7.9 assists in 35.1 minutes through seven games. Paul George (rest) will return this evening after sitting out Monday's contest and will likely start in Tatum's place.

Payton Pritchard Questionable for Wednesday Versus Bucks
Boston Celtics guard Payton Pritchard (shoulder) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks with a contusion. The 28-year-old played through the issue Monday in Houston but struggled, finishing with four points on 0-for-7 shooting in 30 minutes. Pritchard is averaging 13.4 points and 3.4 assists off the bench while shooting 31.0 percent from three. With Jayson Tatum (rest) also questionable and Devin Carter (illness) out, Derrick White could take on more ball-handling if Pritchard sits, while Baylor Scheierman could also pick up additional minutes.

Jayson Tatum Could Be Rested On Wednesday
Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (rest) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Tatum could be rested as the Celtics are in the midst of an eight-game stretch in the span of 13 days. Tatum is averaging 27.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 7.9 assists per game this season. His absence would leave a big scoring void in the Celtics' lineup.

Paul George Sidelined Against Houston
Boston Celtics forward Paul George (rest) will sit out Monday's matchup against the Houston Rockets. George will rest for the second half of a back-to-back after recording 17 points, eight assists, six rebounds, two steals, and two blocks in 33 minutes against Orlando on Sunday. The nine-time All-Star is Boston's second-leading scorer, averaging 20.7 points, 6.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists, and 2.3 steals through six games. Baylor Scheierman and Payton Pritchard will likely see expanded roles with George sidelined for this evening's action.

Mitchell Robinson Questionable Sunday Against Orlando
Boston Celtics center Mitchell Robinson (rest) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Orlando Magic. Boston plays again Monday in Houston, so Robinson could sit on the front end of the back-to-back. The former Knick has started all five games this season, averaging 6.6 points and 4.6 rebounds in 20.0 minutes. Neemias Queta would likely move into the starting lineup if Robinson rests, and Boston has outscored opponents by 19.8 points per 100 possessions with Queta on the floor so far. Luka Garza could also pick up extra minutes behind him.

Devin Carter Lands Two-Way Deal with Celtics
The Boston Celtics are converting guard Devin Carter's Exhibit 10 contract into a two-way deal, according to HoopsHype's Michael Scotto. Carter made an impression in his only preseason appearance, finishing with 17 points, five rebounds, three assists, and two steals against Cleveland before an illness kept him out of the final three games. The former No. 13 pick averaged 8.9 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 2.7 assists in 18.4 minutes across 38 games for Sacramento last season. With Derrick White and Payton Pritchard ahead of him, Carter will need injuries or a strong G-League run to carve out much fantasy value.

Payton Pritchard Agrees to Two-Year Extension with Celtics
Boston Celtics guard Payton Pritchard has agreed to a two-year, $44.2 million contract extension with a mutual option for 2029-30, ESPN's Shams Charania reports. The new deal begins in 2028-29 because Pritchard still has two years remaining on his current contract. The 2025 Sixth Man of the Year is coming off career highs of 17.0 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 5.2 assists across 79 games, including 50 starts. His Opening Night role remains unsettled after Boston brought him off the bench in its first near-full-strength preseason lineup. Still, Jaylen Brown's departure leaves more offense available, and Pritchard should remain heavily involved whether he starts or leads the second unit.

Jayson Tatum Scores 23 Points in Preseason Rout of 76ers
Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum scored 23 points in Saturday's 144-106 preseason win over the Philadelphia 76ers, adding five rebounds, four assists, and one steal in 27 minutes. He shot 9-for-19 from the field and 4-for-10 from three in his first preseason action. Tatum said he feels fresh after a full summer of Achilles rehab, which is encouraging after he shot 41.1% across 16 games following his March return. With Jaylen Brown now in Philadelphia, Tatum is back as Boston's clear top option, even with Paul George joining the lineup.

Mike Conley Settles Into Veteran Mentor Role
Boston Celtics guard Mike Conley is already working closely with Payton Pritchard, including regular one-on-one sessions and conversations about scoring reads, according to Souichi Terada of MassLive. The 38-year-old signed a one-year deal with Boston after averaging career lows of 4.5 points and 2.9 assists in 18.4 minutes across 54 games with Minnesota. Conley is expected to play a complementary role while providing another ball handler behind Pritchard and Derrick White. His own fantasy ceiling is limited, but the veteran guidance could benefit Pritchard as he looks to build on career highs of 17.0 points and 5.2 assists.
