A new name on the injury report.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\"Boston<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Boston Celtics are heading into their Thursday night game against the Minnesota Timberwolves on the heels of a 54-point win over the Toronto Raptors. It will be their first game of a four-game road trip, with the other contests coming against the Houston Rockets, Oklahoma City Thunder, and Denver Nuggets.<\/p>\n

On the other side of things, the Timberwolves just lost to the Thunder, but before that, they won three games in a row. Boston took down the Timberwolves earlier in the season at home, but now, the game will be on Minnesota\u2019s home turf, and they\u2019ll be looking for revenge.<\/p>\n

Here are the injury reports for the Celtics\u2019 game against the Timberwolves on Thursday, January 1.<\/p>\n

Celtics injury report vs. Timberwolves on Thursday, January 1<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  • Jaylen Brown QUESTIONABLE (right shoulder sprain)<\/li>\n
  • Kristaps Porzingis QUESTIONABLE (left ankle sprain)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Timberwolves injury report vs. Celtics Thursday, January 1<\/strong><\/h2>\n
      \n
    • Rob Dillingham OUT (ankle)<\/li>\n
    • Luka Garza OUT (ankle)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Heading into the game on Thursday, Jaylen Brown<\/strong> is the newest addition to the Celtics injury report. He\u2019s listed as questionable due to a right shoulder sprain.<\/p>\n

      Once the fourth quarter rolled around on Tuesday against the Raptors, Brown was spotted on the Celtics bench with ice wrapped around his shoulder, so it shouldn\u2019t be a massive surprise to see him on the injury report with this issue.<\/p>\n

      Kristaps Porzingis<\/strong> is listed as questionable once again due to a left ankle sprain that he sustained on Christmas Day against the Philadelphia 76ers.<\/p>\n

      He has yet to appear in a game since then, missing two games against the Indiana Pacers and one against the Toronto Raptors.<\/p>\n

      There have been few updates regarding Porzingis\u2019 progress recovering from his ankle issue, though head coach Joe Mazzulla has stated multiple times that Porzingis is doing alright.<\/p>\n

      On the Wolves\u2019 side, only two players will be absent on Thursday against the Celtics.<\/p>\n

      Rookie guard Rob Dillingham<\/strong>, who played very well against the Celtics back in November, is out. He\u2019s dealing with an ankle issue and has missed two straight games.<\/p>\n

      In addition, Luka Garza<\/strong> will be out due to an ankle problem of his own.<\/p>\n

      Projected starting lineups for Celtics vs. Timberwolves<\/strong><\/h2>\n

      This is likely what the Celtics will roll with (depending on injuries):<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Derrick White<\/li>\n
      • Jrue Holiday<\/li>\n
      • Jayson Tatum<\/li>\n
      • Sam Hauser<\/li>\n
      • Al Horford<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Here is what the Timberwolves\u2019 first five could look like:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • Mike Conley<\/li>\n
        • Anthony Edwards<\/li>\n
        • Jaden McDaniels<\/li>\n
        • Julius Randle<\/li>\n
        • Rudy Gobert<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
