Brown is back on the injury report after spending just one game off it. He was listed as questionable to play ahead of the Celtics’ season opener against the Philadelphia 76ers due to a hamstring strain he suffered in their final preseason game against the Toronto Raptors.
He was not listed on the injury report ahead of their game vs. the New York Knicks on Friday, but he’s back among those listed ahead of Sunday.
This is the first time White has been listed on the Celtics’ injury report this season. He’s dealing with a right wrist sprain, though it’s unclear exactly when he picked up that ailment.
Garza took a hit to the head on Opening Night vs. the 76ers. He did not play against the Knicks but did travel with the team to New York.
Tatum is obviously still out as he recovers from the Achilles injury he suffered at the end of last season.
Ivey underwent a procedure to relieve right knee discomfort on October 16 and was slated to be reevaluated in four weeks. He will not be available to play vs. the Celtics.
The statuses of Sasser and LeVert are likely both up in the air.
