Overview
- Boston’s latest injury report lists Jaylen Brown as doubtful with low back spasms, Sam Hauser as questionable with right hamstring tightness, Josh Minott as out with a left ankle sprain, and Jayson Tatum as out as he continues his right Achilles recovery.
- The road swing begins Monday in Indianapolis, where Boston seeks a reset after dropping two of three and matching a season low in scoring in a 100-95 loss to San Antonio.
- Brown played 43 minutes against the Spurs and later criticized the officiating following a game in which Boston attempted four free throws.
- Indiana enters at 8-31 with two straight wins; Bennedict Mathurin has been ruled out with a thumb injury and Andrew Nembhard is listed as questionable with lower back soreness.
- Boston has won both prior meetings this season, and rotation choices now hinge on Brown’s status and perimeter availability with Hauser’s hamstring in question.
