Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Questionable for Saturday
Tillman is questionable for Saturday's game against the Spurs with a left knee joint sprain, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
Although Tillman has missed four straight games, he'll at least have a chance to return Saturday. With Kristaps Porzingis, Al Horford and Luke Kornet all healthy in Boston's frontcourt, however, Tillman wouldn't be a lock to see the floor even if he's available against San Antonio.

Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Still out Monday
Tillman (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Kings, Jay King of The Athletic reports.
Tillman will miss his third straight game due to a left knee joint sprain, though he hadn't appeared in any of the Celtics' six contests in coach's decisions prior to suffering the injury. If Tillman is cleared to return in the Celtics' next game Wednesday in Phoenix, he's unlikely to be included in the rotation.

Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Remains out Sunday
Tillman (knee) is out for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
Tillman will miss an eighth consecutive game with a left knee sprain, and the big man doesn't have a timetable for his return. However, Tillman doesn't see regular minutes when the Celtics' frontcourt is at full strength, so his absence shouldn't affect many fantasy decisions.

Tillman (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Jazz, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Assigned and recalled Saturday
The Celtics assigned Tillman to the G League's Maine Celtics before he was later recalled to the NBA on Saturday.

Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Gets garbage-time run in blowout
Tillman (knee) recorded zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal across five minutes in Wednesday's 117-97 loss to the Pistons.
Tillman missed three straight games due to knee inflammation before being cleared to play Tuesday, but he didn't see the floor in the Celtics' 10-point win over the Raptors. He remained out of the rotation for the second leg of the back-to-back set, as Tillman didn't check into the game until the Pistons already had the victory well in hand. After re-signing with Boston on a two-year deal over the summer, Tillman has endured the worst season of his five-year career; he's averaging just 7.1 minutes per game over his 28 appearances and is shooting just 23.8 percent from the field.

Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Good to go Tuesday
Tillman (knee) is available for Tuesday's game against Toronto.
Tillman is available to return from a three-game absence Tuesday due to left knee inflammation. The big man has received little playing time of late, though he could see a bump in minutes with Al Horford (toe) and Luke Kornet (personal) sidelined.

Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Probable for Tuesday
Tillman (knee) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Raptors, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Following a three-game absence with left knee inflammation, Tillman is expected to return to action Tuesday. Luke Kornet (personal) has already been ruled out against Toronto, so Tillman could be in line to share the backup center minutes with the probable Neemias Queta (illness) if Al Horford (toe) sits out.

Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Won't play Sunday
Tillman (knee) is out for Sunday's game against the Knicks, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Tillman will miss a third straight game due to inflammation in his left knee, and it remains to be seen when the big man will be able to return to the hardwood. However, his absence won't generate a big impact in fantasy, as he's averaging a mere 7.3 minutes per game in 2024-25. His next chance to play will come against the Raptors on Tuesday.

Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Ruled out for Thursday
Tillman (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the 76ers, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
Tillman continues to deal with inflammation in his left knee, which will force him to miss a second straight game. However, the absence of the 25-year-old big man won't have much of an impact from a fantasy perspective, as he has rarely seen the floor for Boston this season, averaging 7.3 minutes per game.

Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Won't play Wednesday
Tillman will not play Wednesday against the Spurs due to left knee inflammation.
Tillman was not on Boston's initial injury report, so this is apparently a new issue for the forward. Tillman has played just six minutes in one February appearance, however, so this news won't impact the rotation much.

Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Not listed on injury report
Tillman (illness) is not listed on the injury report for Saturday's game against the Bulls, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
Tillman missed Thursday's 117-108 loss to the Bulls with a non-COVID illness, but the big man should be ready to go for Saturday. He'll add some much-needed depth in the frontcourt, but he shouldn't see a lot of minutes if both Al Horford and Kristaps Porzingis are available.

Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Sitting out with illness
Tillman has been ruled out for Thursday's matchup against Chicago with a non-COVID-related illness, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Tillman is slated to miss Thursday's game, though his absence shouldn't cause too many waves in the rotation. With Kristaps Porzingis (heel) available, the Celtics will likely turn to Al Horford, Neemias Queta and Luke Kornet to fill out reserve minutes in the frontcourt.

Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Questionable to play Thursday
Tillman is questionable for Thursday's game against the Bulls due to a non-COVID illness.
A decision on Tillman's status will be made closer to Thursday's 7:30 p.m. ET tipoff. That said, his potential absence isn't expected to move the needle too much in terms of fantasy purposes. With Al Horford (rest) ready to go Thursday, Tillman would be in line to have a backup role -- at best -- while battling with Neemias Queta and Luke Kornet for minutes at center.

Boston assigned Tillman to the G League's Maine Celtics on Monday.
Tillman was assigned to the G League along with Kristaps Porzingis (foot), with both players set to practice with Maine on Monday before rejoining the parent club.
