The Celtics just can’t get everyone on the floor at the same time.
Enes Kanter will return from a five-game absence Monday night when Boston visits the Atlanta Hawks, according to the team. The Celtics center has been nursing a sore right hip.
However, the Celtics will be without both Marcus Smart, who is dealing with a thigh ailment, and Kemba Walker, who missed Saturday’s game against the Philadelphia 76ers with a left knee injury.
Here’s the latest update from the Celtics:
