Brogdon is not on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
Brogdon was rested in the preseason finale back on Oct. 16 and didn't end up making any appearances. Brogdon could potentially be a key contributor for the second unit in Portland, but it's no secret that he may be flipped to a contender down the road.

Brogdon (rest) is inactive for Monday's preseason game against the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
Brogdon completes the 2023 preseason without logging a minute for the Trail Blazers. The 30-year-old is a candidate to suit up for Portland at some point in the regular season, but likely only as a means to buoy his trade value.

Brogdon (rest) is out for Saturday's game against the Jazz, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brogdon has yet to make his preseason debut for the Blazers. His next chance to play will come against the Suns, but Brogdon is more likely to be traded than to be part of Portland's 2023-24 plans.

Brogdon and Robert Williams were traded to Portland by Boston on Sunday in exchange for Jrue Holiday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brogdon's tumultuous offseason with Boston officially ends with a departure. Brogdon was nearly traded to the Clippers this summer as part of a package deal for Kristaps Porzingis, but the point guard's ongoing elbow issue forced Los Angeles out of the deal. It appeared the Celtics and Brogdon were both content moving forward with their partnership to start training camp, making the deal quite surprising. The Trail Blazers are excited about their current backcourt rotation, which is expected to be led by rookie first-round pick Scoot Henderson and Anfernee Simons, so the 30-year-old Brogdon profiles as a veteran backup. It's also possible Brogdon is dealt again, as he currently doesn't fit Portland's rebuilding roster and could help the Trail Blazers obtain more assets for the future.

Celtics president of basketball operations Brad Stevens said Tuesday that Brogdon is completely healthy heading into training camp, Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe reports.
EDGE Analysis
It was reported that Brogdon may need offseason surgery to repair a partial tendon tear in his right elbow/forearm, but he was ultimately able to clear the issue on his own and should be full go for training camp. There was also concern that Brogdon had grown disgruntled with the organization after nearly being traded, but the point guard appears to have put that issue behind him as well. With Marcus Smart no longer in the picture, there should be more minutes in the backcourt available for Brogdon in 2023-24, but Derrick White will still be Boston's starting point guard.

Brogdon said Monday after the Celtics' 103-84 loss to the Heat in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals that he may require offseason surgery to address a partial tendon tear in his right elbow/forearm, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brogdon reportedly suffered the injury in Game 1 of the series and proceeded to shoot 20 percent from the field while averaging 3.0 points per game in his remaining five appearances against the Heat. He ended up sitting out the Celtics' Game 6 win and was available only in a limited capacity for Game 7, playing just seven minutes. The injury resulted in a disappointing finish to what was a successful season overall for Brogdon, who took home the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year Award after averaging 14.9 points, 4.2 boards, 3.7 assists and 2.0 three-pointers in 26.0 minutes per game over 67 appearances during the regular season. He's on the Celtics' books for two more seasons and carries cap hits of $22.5 million for both years.

Brogdon (elbow/forearm) has been upgraded to available for Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals versus Miami on Monday, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brogdon has been playing through a partial tear in his right elbow that leads into his forearm since Game 1 versus Miami. Despite the injury, the 2023 NBA Sixth Man of the Year was able to play his usual role in the first two matchups, posting 16.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 blocks in 31.5 minutes per game, but he was a non-factor for Games 3-5 before taking a seat for Game 6. There's no guarantee Brogdon plays heavy minutes in the critical Game 7, but his availability should be a positive boost to Boston's bench, which scored just 11 points during the Game 6 win.

Brogdon (forearm) is expected to play in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals versus Miami on Monday, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brogdon missed Boston's Game 6 win due to a right forearm strain, but he was spotted getting shots up Monday morning during shootaround while wearing an elbow sleeve and will likely be available for the critical Game 7. The backup point guard scored in double figures in each of the first two matchups of the series, averaging 31.5 minutes per game, but he totaled just two points over his next three appearances before sitting out.

Brogdon (forearm) is listed as questionable for Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Heat on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Brogdon participated in the shootaround before Game 6, but he ultimately sat out the Celtics' 104-103 win. If available Monday, Brogdon could be in store for a limited role behind backcourt starters Derrick White and Marcus Smart. Through his five appearances in the series, Brogdon has shot just 33.3 percent from the field and has averaged 6.8 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 21.2 minutes per contest.

Brogdon (forearm) is out for Saturday's Game 6 versus the Heat, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brogdon had been playing through a forearm strain for most of the Eastern Conference Finals but appeared to aggravate the injury in Game 5 and will end up missing Game 6 due to the issue. In his absence, Marcus Smart and Derrick White will handle the bulk of the backcourt minutes, while Payton Pritchard could see more action off the bench. If the Celtics pull out a win Saturday, Brogdon could be back in action for Game 7 on Monday.
