Celtics injury report

The Celtics continue to assert themselves as the top team in the NBA, not only consistently securing victories but also enjoying full health. This positive trend persisted as they reported no injuries ahead of their upcoming game against the 76ers at TD Garden on Wednesday at 7:30 p.m.

This injury-free status was also the case before their recent win in New York, indicating a promising outlook for the Celtics as they navigate the remainder of the season. Their robust lead in the East allows them the luxury of managing their players judiciously. Conversely, the Sixers have been plagued by injuries, particularly to their star player and reigning MVP, Joel Embiid, whose return for the playoffs is eagerly anticipated.

The Celtics currently boast an impressive record of 45-12, holding a commanding 7.5-game lead over the Cavaliers in the standings. With only 25 games left in the season, Boston appears well-positioned to maintain their top spot in the East. Their recent form has seen them secure victories in their last eight games, extending back to before the All-Star break.

On the other hand, the Sixers, with a record of 33-24, are striving to stay competitive amidst Embiid’s absence. All-Star guard Tyrese Maxey has been a standout performer, aiming to sustain his exceptional level of play. The Celtics have won two out of three matchups against the Sixers this season, with Tuesday’s game marking their final regular-season encounter.
