Boston Celtics vs Philadelphia 76ers Injury Reports

Celtics

The Boston Celtics have four players on their injury report and all are listed as out. Xavier Tillman is dealing with inflammation in his knee, but his injury is not severe. He could be considered day-to-day moving forward and will be evaluated before every game.

JD Davison, Drew Peterson and Anton Watson are signed to two-way contracts, which means they only have a limited number of appearances for the Celtics. They have to spend time in Boston's G League affiliate, the Maine Celtics.

76ers

The Philadelphia 76ers also have four players on their injury report and all are listed as out. But unlike the Celtics, all four have injuries and not one player is assigned to the NBA G League. Veteran point guard Kyle Lowry is nursing a right hip injury.

Justin Edwards has been ruled out for at least the next two games due to a sprained ankle. Eric Gordon is dealing with a wrist injury, while Jared McCain has already been ruled out of the season. McCain suffered a torn meniscus and underwent surgery to repair it.
