Star Guard’s Return Could Spell Trouble for Shorthanded Celtics
Meanwhile, the Golden State Warriors are making waves on the West Coast. Despite an early hiccup with Stephen Curry sidelined for a few games due to injury, they’ve powered through to a 6-1 start.
Now, these two potent teams are set to clash on Wednesday, November 6, marking their first face-off this season.
As always, injuries play a crucial role in how the lineups shape up for such key matchups. For Boston, the injury report reveals some significant absences.
Jaylen Brown is set to miss his third consecutive game due to a left hip flexor strain. Despite undergoing a second MRI earlier this year, Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla assures fans there’s no long-term concern, with Brown being managed on a day-to-day basis.
Another major piece missing for Boston is Kristaps Porzingis, who remains out as he recovers from offseason surgery for a foot injury suffered during the NBA Finals. His return isn’t expected until December.
On a positive note for the Celtics, Sam Hauser seems to be returning to full form, as he’s not listed on the injury report after dealing with back issues in recent games.
Out West, the Warriors have primarily dodged the injury bug, with De’Anthony Melton the sole absentee due to a back ailment. Good news for Warriors fans: Stephen Curry, who was on a minutes restriction recently, looks ready to unleash his full prowess against Boston. Head coach Steve Kerr mentioned that barring any setbacks, Curry should be unrestricted for their matchup.
Turning to the probable starting lineups, the Celtics might lean on their double-big lineup in Brown’s absence. This strategy has seen Luke Kornet face off against the Hornets, and Neemias Queta match up with the Hawks. Depending on the Warriors’ configuration, Kornet could be Boston’s go-to starter alongside:
Jrue Holiday
Derrick White
Jayson Tatum
Al Horford
As the anticipation builds, it’s all eyes on this early-season clash between two squads aiming to solidify their status as championship contenders. Whether it’s the Celtics’ resilience or the Warriors’ dynamic play, fans are in for a compelling showdown.
