Boston Celtics fans may get their first look at Evan Fournier on Monday night when the New Orleans Pelicans travel to TD Garden.

Fournier has been upgraded to questionable for Monday's contest, per the team.

The recently-acquired guard was ruled out of Friday's win against the Milwaukee Bucks and Saturday's win over the Oklahoma City Thunder due to health and safety protocols. He was traded to Boston ahead of the NBA Trade Deadline on Thursday.

Romeo Langford and Tristan Thompson remain out due to health and safety protocols, as well. Semi Ojeleye, meanwhile, will miss Monday's game due to his left side strain.

Head coach Brad Stevens expects Ojeleye, who was injured in last Wednesday's game against the Bucks, to be sidelined for at least 10 days.

Tip-off for Monday's Celtics-Pelicans game is slated for 7:30 p.m. ET. Boston will play seven consecutive games at TD Garden, and players like Jayson Tatum are excited to return home.
