Kornet (personal) is available for Friday's game against the Cavaliers, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kornet missed the Celtics' last two games while attending to a personal matter, but the veteran center will suit up for Friday's clash against the top team in the Eastern Conference. Kornet could slide into the Celtics' starting lineup due to Kristaps Porzingis being ruled out with an illness.

Kornet is questionable for Friday's game against Cleveland due to personal reasons, Zack Cox of the Boston Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kornet has a chance to end a two-game absence Friday. If the big man doesn't rejoin the lineup, however, the Celtics may need Neemias Queta and Xavier Tillman to handle the backup center role. Jaylen Brown (thigh) and Jrue Holiday (finger) are also uncertain to play, so Al Horford could be tasked with a spot start.

Kornet (personal) will not play Wednesday against Detroit, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kornet will miss his second consecutive game, and his next chance to play against Cleveland is coming Friday. Kristaps Porzingis (illness) is questionable, so Torrey Craig and Neemias Queta may get a chance to see some reps at center.

Kornet (personal) is out for Tuesday's game against the Raptors, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kornet's absence should clear up some extra minutes from the bench Tuesday, and his next chance to return arrives Wednesday in Detroit. With Al Horford (toe) questionable against Toronto, Neemias Queta (illness) and Xavier Tillman (knee) are likely to play and could split the backup center minutes.

EDGE Analysis
Kornet was a late insert into the Celtics' starting lineup against the Knicks on Saturday, and he finished that contest with 14 points, 12 rebounds, three blocks, one assist and one steal over 29 minutes in a 131-104 win. He will retreat to the bench Monday due to the return of Kristaps Porzingis (illness), though Kornet should see some playing time in double-big lineups alongside Porzingis and Al Horford against the Miami duo of Bam Adebayo and Kel'el Ware.
