Positive injury news regarding the players in their regular rotation is still coming in for the Celtics. Prior to the game against the Pacers on Wednesday, only big man Neemias Queta was named. Due to right foot pain, Queta, who missed Monday’s victory over the Wizards, was upgraded to questionable.

From training camp until the first several weeks of the season, the C’s have not released many updates regarding injuries. Due to plantar fasciitis, Kristaps Porzingis was forced to miss the FIBA World Cup, which raised some questions. But he’s been strong and a key player for the Celtics from the start.

Boston is currently 3-0 on the season as it blew out the Wizards last time out. There have been plenty of positive developments thus far as the Celtics are looking to make a title run this season. They haven’t skipped any steps yet, and the injury front has been a plus thus far.

Of course, expect the Celtics to mix their starting lineups going forward, whether due to injuries or resting players. That’s the reality of an 82-game season as teams will be proactive to ensure their players are healthy.
Queta had a successful preseason after signing a two-way contract with the Celtics in the offseason. Even though he won’t play much once the C’s are recovered, he should provide good depth to the team’s thin front court. Another encouraging indicator that the soreness isn’t substantial is the fact that he was moved from probable to doubtful.
