The Celtics play their final game prior to the All-Star break Wednesday and Boston will be close to full strength.
Marcus Smart has not played since he suffered a high ankle sprain against the Toronto Raptors on Jan. 21, but the C’s announced the guard will be making his return against the Detroit Pistons at TD Garden. Jayson Tatum, who was on personal leave and listed with an illness, and Al Horford, who was dealing with a knee sprain, were removed from Wednesday’s injury report and made available.
Derrick White reportedly stayed in Milwaukee to see an ear specialist, but the Celtics listed the veteran as probable with “right ear pain” as the injury designation.
Robert Williams is questionable due to a left ankle sprain. Interim head coach Joe Mazzulla refused to answer questions regarding Timelord’s usage, and if the center does play, he likely will come off the bench like he did Tuesday night.
Boston newcomer Mike Muscala will not play due to “right ankle injury management.”
Wednesday’s game against the Pistons tips off at 7:30 p.m. ET.
