Kristaps Porzingis OUT for Celtics vs Wizards | Injury Report

Hey by Manning here welcome to a practice edition of The Garden report Celtics wrapping up practice this morning before heading down to Washington DC tomorrow for a quick Road stop front end of a back to back uh before the Pistons back here in Boston on Monday so Wizards

First christas porzingis looked like he went through practice today did some work Joe moua said he’s getting better and better by the day after missing four games with the hamstring injury there and his status remains up in the air for Sunday of course the backtack he and Al

Horford have shared time off in those games rest becoming a bigger thing for most of the Celtics up and down the lineup with a 10 game lead in hand in the East uh Joe said that’s going to be on a know by the game by the players

Needs basis we’ve seen brown set out a game over the last week holid as well we’ll see if Tatum’s going to get any rest here at some point would be a good spot it says the second back to back over a week span here so it wouldn’t be

Stunning to see him set out one of those games depending on how they look at those two there as for Tatum Brown on fire averaging almost 30 points a game since the allstar break it’s been interesting to see their shot totals flip to some degree ground averaging the

Most shots on the team over that stretch but also their minutes flip in certain spots Tatum often comes out early in those first quarters gets his rest and then comes back for full stretches to end the half uh that flipped last game and a couple times over recent weeks

Where Brown will come out early come back out and lead some bench units and he did so effectively last night on his way to 37 points we talked a little bit about that on the show in recent weeks how they’re going to line those guys up into the playoffs how they’re going to

Extend uh and start games well too in Tatum’s case he got off to that great start in the Utah game of brown start uh sad this time again strong start from him Brown gets going into the second half both end up with solid Knights all around but it sort of comes and spurts

So what’s the best way to align those two where’s the best spot to rest them I think that’s still something they’re trying to sort out here here was Joe talking about that at practice today uh I mean it’s just both of them we’re having constantly free flow and conversation throughout the game uh

Credit to them just kind of uh trusting the staff on a decision that is made at the time but there’s a few things that go into it obviously you know if one of them’s playing really well you want to keep that last night we changed the

Subpattern so that uh we could keep the matchups that we wanted uh later in the half later in the quarter and uh so it’s just a constant free flowing thing that you know at first is the best interest of them and then that the next best

Thing is how can we make sure we’re taking advantage of matchups having the right lineup so just a free flow conversation and uh the guys that done a good job of communicating that and the dynamic between obviously you know you’re not predetermining shot totals and stuff like that but Jason jaylen’s

Had more shots per game you know since allbr K he’s been a little bit more of a focal point for you guys Jaylen um over Jason has that kind of you know just been like the matchup since the break like what’s kind of led to Jaylen being

A little bit more of a focal point in the off uh I just think there two different players and so I don’t think it you know the goal was never for Tatum to get the most shots in a game the goal was to play efficient basketball and win

The game and so uh two of them are understanding how they can have impacts on the game differently and jaylen’s impact comes uh in transition with his speed and his physicality and his ability to create defense to offense uh with his on ball defense and pressure

And so a few of those a lot of those shots are really in transition uh because of just his ability to run and tatums comeing half court where he likes to play chess and uh take advantage of pick and roll matchups whether handling or screening and so the amount doesn’t

Really matter much it matter is the process of getting them and I think since the All-Star break and really throughout uh the second half of the Season they’ve both been really fighting to get the best shot possible for them and their teammates through what the game is giving them and that’s really

What it comes down to some other experimenting going on too you’re seeing all the big combinations come into play even through OA brette into that Dynamic there you’re seeing Tillman and Al Luke and Al Chris STS and Al has been a pretty good look for much of the year

The other ones are still a work in progress numbers aren’t as good with those groups out there but Joe likes the defensive stature of those groups certainly offensive rebounding and emphasis for this team as well right now but can you have the same offensive fluidity with those groups in there it’s

Going to be something to watch down the stretch of the Season as well bench continue to play well in that win over Phoenix last night good stuff from Hower Payton p as well as Tilman in those spot minutes alongside Horford there cornette got some run as well into some deeper

Lineups for the Celtics as their four game win streak moves on to Washington we will be down there have live coverage of that game 6:00 on Sunday as well as postgame of course check us out there and follow all our coverage at Celtics all access check out the pressers from
