Declines player option Sunday Brissett declined his $2.5 million player option with the Celtics on Sunday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
Impact Brissett will become an unrestricted free agent after declining his player option Sunday. The 26-year-old spent one season with the team, and he averaged 3.7 points, 2.9 rebounds, 0.8 assists and 0.3 steals across 11.5 minutes in 55 regular-season games. Brissett was a non-factor for Boston in the playoffs, and his departure likely signals a desire for a larger role elsewhere.

Rare appearance in win Brissett closed Saturday's 106-93 victory over the Cavaliers in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals with no counting stats in one minute.
Impact Brissett played one minute of garbage time as the Celtics held on for a relatively comfortable victory Saturday. Barring another sizeable margin, Brissett is unlikely to leave the bench on most nights, especially as we get deeper into the playoffs.
MAY 12 • ROTOWIRE
Not listed on injury report Brissett (illness) isn't listed on Boston's injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Hornets, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
Impact Brissett was sidelined for Thursday's loss to the Knicks due to an illness but will be available for the second half of Boston's back-to-back. If Al Horford (toe) and/or Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) is downgraded to out, Brissett could be in line for extended playing time in the frontcourt, along with Luke Kornet and Xavier Tillman.
APRIL 12 • ROTOWIRE
Won't play Thursday Brissett (illness) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Knicks, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
Impact Brissett is dealing with a non-COVID illness that will force him to miss at least one game. Sam Hauser and Jaden Springer could see additional minutes against New York, while it's unclear whether Brissett will be able to return Friday against Charlotte.
APRIL 11 • ROTOWIRE
Iffy for Thursday Brissett is listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Knicks due to a non-COVID illness, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.
Impact Brissett has played in Boston's last five contests but could miss Thursday's game due to an illness. If the 25-year-old forward is forced to sit out, Sam Hauser and Jaden Springer are candidates to receive increased playing time.
APRIL 11 • ROTOWIRE
Retreats to bench Brissett will come off the bench for Monday's game against Detroit, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.
Impact Boston will experiment with a Kristaps Porzingis and Luke Kornet starting frontcourt on Monday. The duo of bigs is an interesting pairing, but it's more logical in the context of facing a Detroit frontcourt featuring Isaiah Stewart and Jalen Duren.
MARCH 18 • ROTOWIRE
Pitches in offensively in start Brissett tallied seven points (1-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds and two assists over 29 minutes in Sunday's 130-104 win over Washington.
Impact Brissett earned his first starting nod of the season with Jaylen Brown (ankle), Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) and Derrick White (hand) all out, contributing offensively and on the glass while finishing three points short of the double-digit scoring mark along with a quartet of boards. Brissett has scored seven or more points in eight games this season, adding four or more rebounds in two of those outings. He posted his highest point total since recording 11 points Feb. 14 against Brooklyn.
MARCH 18 • ROTOWIRE
Gets first start of season Brissett will start Sunday's game against the Wizards, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.
Impact Brissett will make his first start of the season, as Jaylen Brown (ankle), Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) and Derrick White (hand) are all out. Brissett has played 20-plus minutes just four times this season and averaged 6.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.3 steals in 20.3 minutes during that stretch.
MARCH 17 • ROTOWIRE
Seven boards in win Brissett racked up three points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds and one assist across 19 minutes during Monday's 121-99 victory over the Trail Blazers.
Impact After collecting three straight DNP-Coach's Decisions, Brissett received 19 minutes of run on a night where the C's were missing Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday. The forward's high energy motor was on display as he worked the glass. Four of his seven boards were on the offensive end, where Brissett's active hands shine. Boston's addition of Xavier Tillman has made for a confusing rotation for the back-up bigs. The team will have many opportunities to experiment with Brissett, Tillman, Luke Kornet and Neemias Queta as they rest the Unicorn and veteran Al Horford before their playoff run.
MARCH 12 • ROTOWIRE
Good to go Brissett (personal) is available for Friday's game against the Mavericks.
Impact Brissett was a late addition to the injury report due to a personal matter, but he'll ultimately be available. However, his availability shouldn't impact Boston's rotation.
MARCH 1 • ROTOWIRE
Iffy against Dallas Brissett is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Mavericks due to personal reasons, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
Impact Brissett's late addition to the injury report has him in danger of missing Friday's contest. However, the 25-year-old forward's potential absence won't significantly impact Boston's rotation.
MARCH 1 • ROTOWIRE
Logs nine minutes in win Brissett produced one point (1-4 FT), one rebound and one assist across nine minutes during Tuesday's 118-110 victory over the Nets.
Impact Brissett was a non-factor in the win, playing fewer than 10 minutes for the fifth time in the past six games. Even with Kristaps Porzingis (back) sidelined, Brissett was unable to carve out a meaningful role. With Xavier Tillman recently added to the squad, Brissett's outlook is bleak.
FEBRUARY 14 • ROTOWIRE
Scores six points in blowout win Brissett closed with six points (2-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 11 minutes during Sunday's 131-91 victory over the Grizzlies.
Impact After three straight scoreless outings, Brissett got on the board Sunday. However, he hasn't scored in double figures since Jan. 11 and hasn't played 20 minutes since Jan. 6, so he doesn't need to be on fantasy radars.
FEBRUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE
Set to return Thursday Brissett (back) is available for Thursday's game versus the Heat, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Impact Brissett will return to action Thursday after missing Boston's previous contest with a low back strain. Brissett is averaging 6.2 points and 3.9 rebounds in 14.3 minutes across his last 10 appearances.
JANUARY 24 • ROTOWIRE
Out with back issue Brissett has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Mavericks due to a low back strain, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Impact It's unclear as to when Brissett suffered the injury, but he'll be forced to miss at least one contest while on the mend. Sam Hauser and Dalano Banton could pick up a few extra minutes in Brissett's absence.

Impact Brissett had one of his best outings of the season Thursday, finishing as one of four Celtics with a double-digit point total while setting a new season high in scoring off the bench. Brissett, who played 17 or more points for the seventh time this season, has reached double figures in scoring in three outings.

Will play Thursday Brissett (illness) is available for Thursday's game against Detroit, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Impact Brissett has been an inconsistent part of Boston's rotation, but he's dealing with an illness that could prevent him from suiting up Thursday. If he's available, he could see a slight uptick in playing time with Jaylen Brown (back) and Jayson Tatum (ankle) questionable.

Six points in OT loss Brissett chipped in six points (3-3 FG) and one steal across five minutes during Tuesday's 132-126 overtime loss to Golden State.
Impact Tuesday marked Brissett's 12th appearance for Boston. After averaging 16.7 minutes over 65 games with the Pacers last season, Brissett has found it much harder to see playing time with the more talented Celtics. Of the reserves, only Al Horford, Sam Hauser, Payton Pritchard and Luke Kornet (thigh) have received consistent minutes. Newcomers Brissett, Dalano Banton, Lamar Stevens and Svi Mykhailiuk have struggled to earn consistent floor time. Expect that to continue unless Boston is suddenly hit with a rash of injuries.
