Boston Celtics Injury Report: Will Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday start against Los Angeles Lakers?

The defending NBA champions, Boston Celtics are all set to host the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday, March 8 at the TD Garden, Boston, Massachusetts. The Celtics will be looking to take their revenge as both the star studded teams meet for the second and final time as the first time around, Lakers walked away with a comprehensive victory in January. 

Will Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday play against LA Lakers?

The Boston Celtics have listed three players on their injury report which include Kristaps Porzingis, Jrue Holiday and Sam Hauser. 

Jrue Holiday is listed as questionable and has missed the last four games due to a right hand mallet finger. His availability for the match depends on how he feels before the tip-off. 

Kristaps Porzingis has also missed the last four games due to a non-Covid illness. He too is listed as questionable but there is hope that he might make his highly anticipated return to the court. Sam Hauser missed the last game Celtics played against the Philadelphia 76ers due to a right ankle sprain. His availability also depends on how he feels before the start of the game.

Some great news coming from the Boston camp as Jaylen Brown has been given the green signal to play as he is cleared from the injury report. He also missed the clash against 76ers due to right knee posterior impingement but will lead the charge alongside Jayson Tatum in hope to topple a highly confident Lakers squad. 

In the Eastern Conference, Celtics are placed firmly at the second spot with a record of 45-18. On the other hand, in the Western Conference, the Lakers are also at the second number with a record of 40-21.
