Celtics head coach Ime Udoka said Sunday that Nesmith (ankle) had significant swelling and "will be out for a longer period of time" than Jaylen Brown (ankle), Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Nesmith sprained his ankle during Thursday's contest against the Grizzlies, and based on Udoka's comments, he'll likely be facing a lengthy absence. While Brown will be a game-time decision for Sunday's contest versus Brooklyn, Nesmith may be sidelined for the entirety of Boston's upcoming three-game week.
