Celtics Injury Report: Pritchard Questionable for Game 2
Boston Celtics injury report heading into Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Indiana Pacers.
Injuries to opposing ball clubs have smoothed the path for both the Boston Celtics and Indiana Pacers, but a key injury to Celtics guard Payton Pritchard could throw a wrench into Boston's plans.
The Celtics are 64-18 heading into Game 2, while the Pacers are 47-35. Boston has been relatively healthy all season, but Pritchard's injury is a concern. The Celtics are already without Jaylen Brown, who is out for the season with a torn ACL. Pritchard is averaging 9.1 points and 4.2 assists per game this season, and he is a key part of Boston's rotation.
The Pacers have also been dealing with injuries, but they are not as severe as Boston's. Indiana is without Caris LeVert, who is out for the season with a torn ACL. The Pacers are also without Malcolm Brogdon, who is out with a hamstring injury. Brogdon is averaging 19.1 points and 5.1 assists per game this season, and he is a key part of Indiana's offense.
The Celtics are favored to win Game 2, but Pritchard's injury could make things interesting. If Pritchard is unable to play, Boston will be without one of their key players. The Pacers will be looking to take advantage of Pritchard's absence and steal a game on the road.
