The Boston Celtics have added one name to their injury report, but it’s not to due to injury-related reasons.
Vincent Poirier will join Gordon Hayward and Javonte Green as players who will be out of the Celtics’ Game 4 lineup. Poirier traveled outside of the NBA’s Orland bubble for the birth of his child, and missed Game 3 as well.
Hayward, Green and Tremont Waters all have missed the first three games of the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Toronto Raptors. Waters, who was dealing with a left knee sprain, is questionable for Saturday’s contest.
The Celtics hold a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven series. Boston was 0.5 seconds away from taking a commanding three-game lead, but fell to the Raptors at the buzzer in Thursday’s contest.
Tip is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. ET on Saturday.
