Overview
- The Boston Celtics placed Mitchell Robinson on the official injury report as QUESTIONABLE for the Nov. 8 game at Milwaukee because of an illness, a change announced in a team tweet.
- Because the issue is illness and not a new structural injury, the Celtics are expected to make a final decision after pregame checks and warmups, making Robinson a likely game-time decision.
- If Robinson is ruled out, coach Joe Mazzulla is prepared to increase Luka Garza’s minutes within the club’s existing center rotation.
- Robinson has alternated between starting and bench roles early this season while adjusting to Boston’s system and is averaging about 18 minutes, 5.8 points and 5.5 rebounds through eight games.
- Boston’s strong early record and a deeper frontcourt rotation led by Neemias Queta mean the team is prioritizing short-term availability and minute management to sustain its performance.
