Xavier Tillman Latest News
Still out Monday
Tillman (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Kings, Jay King of The Athletic reports. Tillman hasn't played since March 6 and has made only three appearances since the beginning of February. His next chance to suit up will come Wednesday in Phoenix, but the veteran doesn't have a return timetable.
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.
Ruled out for Friday
Tillman (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Jazz, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports. Tillman will miss a seventh straight game for Boston while dealing with a knee issue. The next opportunity for the 25-year-old big man to get back on the floor for the defending NBA champions will be Sunday against the Trail Blazers.
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. Tillman likely joined the G League Celtics for Saturday's practice ahead of their game against the Grand Rapids Gold on Tuesday. The 26-year-old appeared in only two outings for the parent club during February, averaging 5.5 minutes per contest.
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.
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.
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.
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 third 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.
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.
