Celtics injury update: Morgan in protocols; Stauskas, Timelord also out; Tatum, Brown, Horford probable vs. Bulls

The Boston Celtics‘ injury report ahead of their road tilt with the Chicago Bulls has a few elements to it we have not seen in some time — multiple tweets needed to disseminate it on Twitter, and a player in the NBA’s health and safety protocols.

While it remains unclear if at all related to the rumbles of potentially unvaccinated players being on the team with forward Juwan Morgan entering the league’s protocols given one can easily have a breakthrough case if vaccinated, it is certain Morgan will not be playing for Boston again in the short term without the requisite negative tests being returned for him to do so. Joining him on the injury report as out are Nik Stauskas (sprained ankle), and Robert Williams III (meniscus).

Al Horford (back soreness), Jaylen Brown, and Jayson Tatum (both knee tendinopathy) are listed as probably, but with the Bulls shutting down Lonzo Ball (knee) for the rest of the season and Zach LaVine out, it is not out of the question for both teams to play their usual high-minutes players lightly on Wednesday night.
