Boston Celtics offer injury updates ahead Maimi Heat Game with two stars now..

Here’s a rundown of the injury status for the upcoming Celtics-Heat game on Friday. In their recent season opener against the New York Knicks, the Celtics secured a 108-104 victory at Madison Square Garden.

Jayson Tatum played a standout role, accumulating an impressive 34 points, 11 rebounds (tying with Julius Randle for the game’s highest), four assists, two steals, and a block. Notably, Kristaps Porzingis had an outstanding Celtics debut, contributing 30 points – the most ever for a Celtics debut – by shooting 8/15 from the field, sinking 5/9 three-pointers, and converting 9/10 free throws. He also grabbed eight rebounds and led with four blocks.

Porzingis played a crucial role in scoring nine of the final 15 points for the visiting team, making all six of his free throws during crunch time. He expressed his commitment to helping Boston in high-pressure situations during the post-game press conference.

Looking ahead, the Celtics are now focusing on their home opener against the Miami Heat on Friday night. Al Horford emphasized the excitement surrounding a Friday night game at the Garden and acknowledged the significance of the matchup against a team that ended Boston’s season in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

It’s worth noting that the Celtics have a clean injury report for the upcoming game, just as they did on Wednesday in New York. On the other hand, the Miami Heat will be without Josh Richardson (foot) and Haywood Highsmith (knee), while Duncan Robinson (foot sprain), Caleb Martin (knee tendinosis), and Jaime Jaquez Jr. (groin strain) are listed as probable.

The Celtics will face off against the Heat at 7:30 p.m. EST on Friday, and you can stay updated with content related to the matchup before, during, and after the game by following @BobbyKrivitsky on Twitter through Inside The Celtics.
