The Boston Celtics have found themselves in the midst of speculation that they could have players on their roster unable to make the trip to Toronto to play the Raptors due to Canadian regulations on the status of players’ COVID-19 vaccination after a story by ESPN’s Tim Bontemps cast doubt on the entire roster being available to play in such a scenario.
“When asked directly within the past 24 hours if their teams are fully vaccinated … the Boston Celtics … declined to comment,” wrote Bontemps, ” … opening the possibility that both teams could potentially be missing players in road games of a first-round playoff series against the Toronto Raptors.”
Noting Boston had four players who sat out in the team’s recent road game against the Raptors, ESPN related that Robert Williams was out due to his torn meniscus and that Jayson Tatum had previously stated he’d been vaccinated.
