Nikola Vučević: Breaking News

Cleared for Game 1

Vucevic (finger) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Game 1 against the 76ers on Sunday. Vucevic missed 14 consecutive games from March 8 to April 3 due to a fractured right index finger. He returned to action April 5 and appeared in four games before sitting out the Celtics' regular-season finale against the Magic this past Sunday, and he'll be available for the start of Boston's playoff run. Vucevic will likely serve as the top big man off the bench behind starting center Neemias Queta.

Not playing Sunday

Vucevic (finger) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Magic, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports. Vucevic has played in each of Boston's last four games after missing 14 consecutive games from March 8 to April 3 due to a fractured right index finger. The Celtics are locked in as the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference standings, so with nothing to play for, Vucevic and several other key players for Boston will sit for Sunday's regular-season finale. Across 16 regular-season games (one start) with the Celtics, the veteran big man averaged 9.7 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.1 threes over 21.1 minutes per contest. With Vucevic and Neemias Queta (toe) both sidelined, Luka Garza and Amari Williams will both see significant playing time against Orlando.

Doubtful for Sunday

Vucevic (finger) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Magic, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports. With neither Vucevic nor Neemias Queta (toe) expected to play Sunday, Luka Garza and Amari Williams figure to fill the void at center. Jordan Walsh could also get some run at the five-spot Sunday evening.
