Celtics Injury Update: Who's In, Who's Out for Game 3?
Latest News from ESPN on Players' Health Status
As the Boston Celtics prepare for Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals, all eyes will be on the injury report. The team has been battling injuries all season long, and it's no different now. ESPN provides the latest updates on the status of several key players.
Robert Williams III (Knee)
Williams has been dealing with a knee injury since the start of the playoffs. He missed the first two games of the series against the Miami Heat, but he returned in Game 2 and played 25 minutes. However, he was limited in his mobility and did not look like his usual self. ESPN reports that Williams is still not 100% healthy, but he is expected to play in Game 3.
Marcus Smart (Ankle)
Smart suffered an ankle injury in Game 1 of the series. He missed Game 2, but he is also expected to return for Game 3. Smart is a key part of the Celtics' defense, so his return would be a big boost for the team.
Jayson Tatum (Shoulder)
Tatum has been dealing with a shoulder injury since the regular season. He has played through the pain, but he has not been as effective as he usually is. ESPN reports that Tatum's shoulder is still bothering him, but he is expected to play in Game 3.
The Celtics will need all three of these players to be healthy if they want to win the series against the Heat. Game 3 is scheduled for Wednesday night in Miami.
