Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (knee) and Marcus Smart (illness) will both be active for Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. Both players missed the team's last game on Monday. Williams is dealing with right knee tendinopathy and Smart came down with a non-COVID illness prior to the team's last game.

Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III (knee) and point guard Marcus Smart (illness) have been ruled out for Monday's contest against the Thunder. Williams is listed as absent due to right patellar tendinopathy, an ominous designation, although it does come on the second leg of a back-to-back.

Boston Celtics guard Marcus Smart (ankle) is expected to suit up versus the Atlanta Hawks on Thursday. He missed one game prior to the All-Star break due to a minor ankle issue. However, Smart looked good in practice on Tuesday and should be able to return on Thursday, according to head coach Ime Udoka. The return of Smart will move Derrick White back to the bench.
