Shulga isn't starting in Sunday's game against Philadelphia. Shulga made the first start of his career in the 113-108 win over Orlando to close out the regular season, finishing with three points, three boards and one steal in 18 minutes. However, the Celtics' starters are healthy and ready to begin the series with the 76ers, moving Shulga back to the bench and potentially out of the rotation altogether.

Max Shulga: Breaking News
Making first NBA start Sunday
Shulga is in the Celtics' starting lineup against the Magic on Sunday. The rookie second-rounder has spent most of the 2025-26 season in the G League with the Maine Celtics and has appeared in just 10 regular-season games for Boston. However, Shulga will enter the starting five for the first time in his NBA career, as the Celtics are resting several starters and key rotation pieces for Sunday's regular-season finale.
Plays in garbage time Wednesday
Shulga recorded no statistics while playing the final eight seconds of Wednesday's 147-129 win over the Heat. Shulga arrived in Miami in time for Wednesday's game, after he had suited up for the G League's Maine Celtics a night earlier in the affiliate's playoff loss to the Greensboro Swarm. With Maine having been eliminated from the postseason, Shulga will remain with Boston moving forward but is unlikely to see minutes outside of garbage-time scenarios or games in which the team is resting multiple rotation players.
