Kornet is not in the Celtics' starting lineup against the Heat on Monday, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports. Kornet was a late insert into the Celtics' starting lineup against the Knicks on Saturday, and he finished that contest with 14 points, 12 rebounds, three blocks, one assist and one steal over 29 minutes in a 131-104 win. He will retreat to the bench Monday due to the return of Kristaps Porzingis (illness), though Kornet should see some playing time in double-big lineups alongside Porzingis and Al Horford against the Miami duo of Bam Adebayo and Kel'el Ware.

Luke Kornet Latest News
Coming off bench Monday

Kornet is not in the Celtics' starting lineup against the Heat on Monday, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports. Kornet was a late insert into the Celtics' starting lineup against the Knicks on Saturday, and he finished that contest with 14 points, 12 rebounds, three blocks, one assist and one steal over 29 minutes in a 131-104 win. He will retreat to the bench Monday due to the return of Kristaps Porzingis (illness), though Kornet should see some playing time in double-big lineups alongside Porzingis and Al Horford against the Miami duo of Bam Adebayo and Kel'el Ware.
Shines in spot start

Kornet chipped in 14 points (7-7 FG), 12 rebounds, three blocks, one assist and one steal over 29 minutes during Saturday's 131-104 victory over the Knicks. Kornet delivered an impressive performance in Saturday's blowout win, recording his first double-double of the season. The big man also posted game-high marks in rebounds and swats. Kornet has now started in seven outings this season, during which he has averaged 11.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, 2.4 blocks, 1.7 assists and 1.3 steals across 29.1 minutes per game.
Starting sans Porzingis

Kornet will start in Saturday's game against the Knicks, Adam Himmelsbach of The Boston Globe reports. Kristaps Porzingis was a late scratch for Saturday's game due to a non-COVID illness. Kornet will start alongside Al Horford and Jayson Tatum in the frontcourt.
Slides back to bench

Kornet won't start Wednesday's game against the Bulls. Kornet picked up a spot start Monday due to Derrick White (leg) and Al Horford (toe) being sidelined. Although Horford remains out Wednesday, White is healthy and will take Kornet's spot in the first unit.
Impresses as starter

Kornet totaled 18 points (8-9 FG, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 33 minutes during Monday's 114-112 loss to the Rockets. This was a terrific showing for Kornet as he picked up the start with Derrick White (leg) unavailable. Al Horford (toe) was expected to play, but was ultimately a late scratch that went unreported by Boston. Kornet has fared well as a fill-in starter this season, averaging 11.2 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 2.3 blocks in six games.
Will start Monday

Kornet will start in Monday's matchup against the Rockets, John Karalis of BostonSportsJournal.com reports. The big man will receive his sixth start of the season with Al Horford coming off the bench Monday. Kornet has averaged 9.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.6 blocks, 2.0 assists and 1.4 steals in 28.4 minutes per game over his five appearances in the starting lineup thus far.
Grabs nine rebounds in win

Kornet posted two points (1-4 FG), nine rebounds, five assists and two blocks across 17 minutes during Saturday's 122-107 win over Dallas. Kornet grabbed a team-high nine rebounds, serving as an above-average backup center. Although he remains clearly behind Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford, Kornet has been able to make the most of his opportunities, typically as a result of either rest or injury to those around him. He should be able to maintain a 15-minute role moving forward, even more when Porzingis or Horford are sidelined.
Back to bench Thursday

Kornet will return to a bench role for the Celtics in Thursday's game against the Lakers. After starting Wednesday's win against the Clippers, Kornet will assume his usual role off the bench. Boston is getting key players back for this matchup. The 29-year-old big man had a forgettable performance Wednesday, finishing with two points, two rebounds, an assist, a steal and a block.
Making start Wednesday

Kornet is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Clippers, Law Murray of The Athletic reports. Kornet will step into the first unit for the second time in three games, benefitting from the absences of Kristaps Porzingis (illness) and Al Horford (toe) on the first night of a back-to-back. In four starts this season, Kornet is averaging 11.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.5 steals and 3.0 blocks across 28.0 minutes.
