Pritchard (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Orlando, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports. Pritchard drew the doubtful tag for Sunday's regular-season finale due to left foot plantar fasciitis, and he'll indeed be sidelined as the Celtics prepare for their playoff run. The sixth-year guard started in a career-high 50 regular-season games, but he returned to a bench role in early February after Anfernee Simons (wrist) was traded to the Bulls in exchange for Nikola Vucevic (finger). Pritchard was still effective in his sixth-man role, and across 31 outings (two starts) since Feb. 3, he averaged 17.5 points, 5.0 assists, 3.4 rebounds and 2.9 threes over 32.0 minutes per game while connecting on 41.7 percent of his field-goal attempts from beyond the arc. Dalano Banton, Max Shulga and Baylor Scheierman will all handle more responsibilities against Orlando in Pritchard's absence.

Payton Pritchard: Breaking News
Unlikely to play Sunday
Pritchard is listed as doubtful for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Magic due to left foot plantar fasciitis, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports. The Celtics locked their spot as the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference after their blowout win against the Pelicans on Friday. With nothing to play for Sunday, Boston will rest its entire starting lineup, and it looks like Pritchard will also not play against Orlando. If that's indeed the case, Pritchard will end the 2025-26 regular season averaging career highs in points (17.0), assists (5.2), rebounds (3.9) and minutes (32.4). Max Shulga, Dalano Banton, Baylor Scheierman, Hugo Gonzalez and other deep rotational players for the Celtics should all see extended action Sunday.
Double-doubles in rout
Pritchard ended Friday's 144-118 victory over the Pelicans with 21 points (7-14 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, 10 assists and one steal in 30 minutes. Pritchard posted his fifth double-double of the season Friday, taking advantage of some extra usage left behind by the absence of Jayson Tatum (Achilles). Over his last seven contests, Pritchard has averaged 17.0 points, 4.6 assists, 2.7 rebounds and 3.3 three-pointers in 29.7 minutes per game while shooting 50.0 percent from deep.
