Questionable to suit up Wednesday Muscala is considered questionable to take the floor Wednesday versus the Cavaliers due to right knee tendinopathy, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Impact Muscala logged 11 minutes in Tuesday's game versus the Knicks but appears to potentially have picked up a knee issue along the way. The team should update his status ahead of Wednesday's tilt, with Al Horford and Luke Kornet among the candidates to see additional minutes at center if he can't go.

Will be available Thursday Muscala (ankle) will be available for Thursday's matchup against the Pacers, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

Impact Muscala sat out the Celtics' final contest before the All-Star break, which was the second half of a back-to-back set, to manage a right ankle injury. The backup big man has had plenty of time off during the All-Star break and will return to action Thursday. However, with Boston nearly at full strength, it's unclear how the newcomer will fit into head coach Joe Mazzulla's rotation.

Resting Wednesday Muscala is out Wednesday against the Pistons due to right ankle injury management.

Impact Muscala got the spot start during Tuesday's 131-125 overtime loss to the Bucks with the Celtics down to a skeleton crew. He saw a season-high 44 minutes, posting 18 points, eight boards and one steal. Unsurprisingly, the medical staff has suggested letting him sit out the second night of the back-to-back set before the All-Star break.

Solid numbers in spot start Muscala notched 18 points (7-16 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds and one steal over 44 minutes during Tuesday's 131-125 overtime loss to the Bucks.

Impact Making only his sixth start of the season and first since joining the Celtics, Muscala handled a huge workload for the injury-wracked team and delivered passable production. The veteran center has averaged 13.3 points, 4.7 boards and 3.0 threes through his first three games with Boston, and Al Horford's knee trouble should ensure Muscala is a regular part of the frontcourt rotation for the foreseeable future.

Drops four triples in debut Muscala logged 12 points (4-8 FG, 4-8 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one block in 16 minutes during Friday's 127-116 win over Charlotte.

Impact Muscala instantly became a crowd favorite in what was his Celtics debut, connecting on four triples in 16 minutes. While this was a really solid outing for Muscala, it should be remembered that Al Horford was out due to a minor knee injury. With that said, there is a chance Muscala could be a regular part of the rotation given his competition for minutes consists of Blake Griffin and Luke Kornet.

Will be available Friday Muscala (recently traded) will be available for Friday's matchup against the Hornets, Adam Himmelsbach of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact Muscala was traded from Oklahoma City to Boston on Thursday, and he appears to have passed his physical and will be available to make his Celtics debut. It's unclear if he'll see any playing time against Charlotte, but Al Horford's (knee) absence could open up some frontcourt minutes. In the long run, Muscala will presumably compete with Luke Kornet and Blake Griffin for the primary backup center gig, but he's unlikely to garner a large enough role to crack fantasy relevancy.
