- Celtics injury report: Boston has good news for Game 5 vs. Sixers
The Celtics had continued good news when it comes to their injury report ahead of Game 5 against the Sixers . The C’s have nobody listed ahead of the 7 p.m. Tuesday game at TD Garden. Boston has been at full strength in its previous four games of the first-round series.
The 76ers are also looking like they’ll be at full strength for Game 5, as well. Joel Embiid is listed as probable after making his return to the court for Game 4 of the series. Embiid returned a little more than two weeks after his emergency appendectomy procedure. The big man went from doubtful to questionable to available just hours before Game 4, finishing with 34 minutes played.
