The Boston Celtics have had a LOT of players either testing positive (Robert Williams III, Jayson Tatum) or in the league’s health and safety protocols as a precautionary measure (Tristan Thompson, Grant Williams, Javonte Green, Semi Ojeleye, Jaylen Brown) in recent days.
So many in fact they’ve had to postpone games because of it, and may yet have at least another to kick down the road while players return to available status — particularly given they still have Kemba Walker and Romeo Langford out recovering from injury. How long will the Celtics be in such a position? That depends on when players are cleared to play, with Walker of all people perhaps likely to return the soonest.
Let’s take a look at when that might be.
