Luke Kornet Latest News
Will be available Sunday
Kornet (hamstring) is available for Sunday's game against the Bucks. Kornet will return to action after a one-game absence due to a hamstring injury. He's started two of his nine appearances this season but will likely come off the bench Sunday, as Jaylen Brown (hip) is cleared to make his return from a four-game absence. Kornet has averaged 15.7 minutes per game across seven appearances as a reserve this season.
Questionable to play Sunday
Kornet (hamstring) is questionable to play Sunday against the Bucks, Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe reports. Kornet tweaked his hamstring during Wednesday's loss to Golden State and missed Friday's overtime win over the Nets. The questionable tag for this matchup doesn't bode well for his chances of playing. If he's out, then either Neemias Queta or Xavier Tillman would earn another start in the frontcourt alongside Al Horford.
Won't play Friday
Kornet (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Nets, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports. Kornet tweaked his hamstring during Wednesday's loss to Golden State and was deemed doubtful before being downgraded to out. The big man's absence could open up an increased role for Jordan Walsh with Neemias Queta starting in the frontcourt while Jaylen Brown (hip) is out. Kornet has averaged 4.9 points and 4.2 rebounds across 18.1 minutes through nine regular-season appearances. His next chance to suit up will come Sunday against Milwaukee.
Unlikely to play against Brooklyn
Kornet (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game versus the Nets, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports. Kornet is expected to miss Friday's contest after tweaking his left hamstring against Golden State. If Kornet is downgraded to out, Xavier Tillman is a candidate to receive increased minutes off the bench in Boston's frontcourt.
Won't return Wednesday
Kornet has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against the Warriors due to left hamstring tightness, Marc D'Amico of the Celtics' official site reports. Kornet tweaked his hamstring during Wednesday's matchup and will not return. He finishes with two points (0-1 FG, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists across 14 minutes. Jordan Walsh and Xavier Tillman could see an extra minute or two down the stretch. Kornet's next chance to play will come Friday against Brooklyn.
Retreats to bench
Kornet isn't starting Monday's game against the Hawks, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports. Kornet has started Boston's last two contests at center, but it'll be Neemias Queta who gets the call Monday night, marking his first NBA start. Kornet is averaging 3.2 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.6 assists in five games off the bench so far this season.
Scores 19 points vs. Charlotte
Kornet finished with 19 points (6-6 FG, 7-7 FT), four rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal over 30 minutes during Saturday's 113-103 win over the Hornets. Kornet was in the Celtics' starting lineup for a second straight game Saturday as Jaylen Brown was sidelined with a hip injury. Kornet used his size advantage effectively against the Hornets to score a season-high 19 points, which was his highest scoring output in the regular season since Dec. 29 against the Raptors (20). Kornet will go back to the bench once Brown returns from his injury, but the former should see some starts during the regular season on back-to-backs, as Horford will typically rest in one of those contests.
Quiet in spot start
Kornet totaled five points (2-2 FG, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal over 24 minutes during Friday's 124-109 win over the Hornets. Kornet shifted into the starting lineup, replacing Al Horford who was resting on the first night of a back-to-back. Despite starting, Kornet failed to produce anything of note, other than his three combined steals and blocks. Based on this performance and what we have seen from Kornet thus far, he is not someone who needs to be prioritized, even when Horford is chilling on the sideline.
Getting start nod
Kornet is in the starting five for Friday's game versus the Hornets, Jay King of The Athletic reports. Kornet will replace Al Horford (rest) in the starting lineup Friday. While Kornet has yet to play at least 20 minutes in a game this season, he should receive an uptick in playing time against Charlotte.
