DALANO BANTON NEWS

Makes first start of season Banton racked up eight points (3-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and one assist in 19 minutes during Sunday's 113-103 win over the Hawks.

Impact This was the first start of the season for Banton, and just the third of his career. Jrue Holiday (ankle) missed his second straight game, so Banton got a rare opportunity to play extended minutes with Al Horford moving into Kristaps Porzingis' (calf, out) spot in the lineup. Holiday is day-to-day and Porzingis is expected to miss at least a week, so it will be interesting to see if Banton can carve out more rotation minutes.

Will start Sunday Banton will start Sunday's game against the Hawks, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.

Impact Al Horford will take Kristaps Porzingis' (calf) spot in the starting lineup, while Banton replaces Jrue Holiday (ankle). Banton made just three starts over the previous two campaigns with Toronto, so this is an unfamiliar role for the 2021 second-round pick. Banton has played double-digit minutes just once this season, averaging 6.2 minutes per game across six appearances.

Debuts in blowout win Banton accumulated two points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist in 10 minutes during Monday's 126-107 win over the Wizards.

Impact Banton entered the contest during second-half garbage time well after Boston built a big lead in the first quarter. Monday marked the reserve's first minutes as a Celtic. It didn't go well. In a game Boston won by 19, Banton produced a point differential of minus-17 over just 10 minutes. In addition to Boston's stacked starting lineup, Banton is behind reserves Payton Pritchard and Sam Hauser. The former Raptor will probably earn limited and sporadic minutes throughout the season.

Full performance in loss Banton posted 20 points (8-19 FG, 1-5 3Pt 3-3 FT), two rebounds and two assists in 30 minutes during Monday's 114-107 preseason loss to the Knicks.

Impact With Boston's key cast of starters resting, Banton led the Celtics in playing time and shot attempts. The 23-year-old has good size to make an impact on the wings for Boston, but he topped out at 29.4 percent three-point shooting last season. He'll likely need to provide better shooting to see the court for meaningful stretches.
