The Boston Celtics have an upcoming matchup against the Houston Rockets, and they have a few players on the injury report. Those players are usual starters for the Celtics, as Jaylen Brown is dealing with a right shoulder strain, and Kristaps Porzingis has a left ankle sprain. Both players have missed a few games this season because of injuries, and it wouldn't be a surprise if they missed this game.
Porzingis has been the one player for the Celtics in and out of the lineup, and he's missed the past four games with an ankle sprain. For a player who has dealt with injuries throughout their career, the Celtics are being cautious with Porzingis, and they have enough firepower to win without him.
