Payton Pritchard News, Rumors, Updates - Boston Celtics

Says he'll play Tuesday Pritchard (heel) said he'll play Tuesday against the Wizards, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.

Impact Pritchard has missed nine straight games due to plantar fasciitis and a bone bruise in his heel, but he's expected to return to action Tuesday. However, he's not guaranteed any playing time in Boston's crowded backcourt, especially with everyone healthy.

Downgraded to out Pritchard (heel) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Spurs, John Karalis of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.

Impact Pritchard will miss a ninth straight game due to heel soreness. The backup point guard has appeared in just three games since mid-February, so his prolonged absence shouldn't change the way the Celtics have been playing recently.

Could be available Sunday Pritchard (heel) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Spurs.

Impact Pritchard has been out since early March but could make his return Sunday. That said, his presence shouldn't impact the rotation or fantasy much, especially when the rest of Boston's guards are healthy.

Unlikely to play Friday Pritchard (heel) is doubtful for Friday's game against Indiana.

Impact Pritchard participated in a live workout Thursday and could return prior to the end of the regular season, but he's unlikely to suit up Friday. However, it's encouraging to see him listed as doubtful rather than being immediately ruled out. Following Friday's matchup, the Celtics have eight games remaining before the end of the regular season, and it's certainly possible Pritchard sees some game action ahead of the playoffs.

MARCH 23, 2023 • MASSLIVE.COM

Gearing up for return Coach Joe Mazzulla said Pritchard (heel) went through live workout Thursday and may return before the regular season ends, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.

Impact Pritchard hasn't played since March 6 due to left heel soreness. While Mazzulla's comments are encouraging, they also indicate that the 24-year-old guard is set to miss more time before retaking the court. Derrick White and Malcolm Brogdon should continue to see the majority of the backcourt minutes off the bench with Pritchard out.

MARCH 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out Tuesday Pritchard (heel) has been ruled out for Tuesday's contest against the Kings, John Karalis of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.

Impact The Oregon product will officially miss his seventh consecutive game as he continues to tend to a heel issue. Pritchard's next chance to return to Boston's lineup comes Friday against the Pacers.

MARCH 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out Saturday Pritchard (heel) will not play in Saturday's game against the Jazz, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Impact Pritchard will miss a sixth straight game Saturday with left heel soreness. Although he could return Tuesday against Sacramento, coach Joe Mazzulla has indicated that Pritchard may be out for the entirety of the Celtics' road trip, so Friday against Indiana could be a more feasible timeline.

MARCH 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Still sidelined Pritchard (heel) will not play in Friday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Impact Pritchard will miss his fifth straight game with a sore left heel. He will have another chance to suit up Saturday against Utah. However, coach Joe Mazzulla indicated Pritchard could miss the remainder of the Celtics' road trip, in which case may be out until March 24.

MARCH 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out again Pritchard (heel) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game in Minnesota.

Impact As expected, Pritchard remains sidelined due to left knee soreness. Head coach Joe Mazzulla previously said that the backup point guard could miss the Celtics' entire six-game road trip, which ends March 21, so barring a new update, fantasy managers should steer clear of Pritchard for the time being.

MARCH 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Listed out for Monday Pritchard (heel) is listed as out for Monday's contest against Houston.

Impact Based on previous reporting, Pritchard could miss the entire road trip, which ends March 21. His absence will have minimal impact on the rotation.

MARCH 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Could miss six-game trip Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla said Pritchard (heel) may miss the Celtics' upcoming six-game road trip that begins Saturday in Atlanta, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.

Impact Pritchard hurt his left heel going for a game-winning shot attempt in an overtime loss to the Cavaliers on Monday and then missed Wednesday's win over the Trail Blazers. Assuming Pritchard misses the six-game trip, his next chance to play wouldn't arrive until March 24 versus the Pacers. Pritchard had been a fringe member of the Celtics' rotation before suffering the injury, so his likely absence for the road trip isn't expected to open up any major minutes for the other supporting players.

Celtics injury report: Payton Pritchard ruled out for Wednesday's game vs. Blazers Payton Pritchard suffered the injury in the closing minutes of the Celtics' loss to the Cavs.

MARCH 8, 2023 • MASSLIVE.COM

Out Wednesday Pritchard won't play Wednesday against the Trail Blazers due to left heel pain.

Impact Sam Hauser might be able to earn some extra minutes Wednesday while Pritchard is on the sideline. As long as Derrick White, Jaylen Brown, Malcolm Brogdon and Marcus Smart are healthy, it'll be challenging for any of the other guards in Boston to earn enough minutes to make a noticeable impact in fantasy basketball.

MARCH 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy for Wednesday Pritchard (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Portland.

Impact Pritchard suffered a left ankle sprain during Monday's overtime loss to Cleveland and may be sidelined for at least one additional contest. However, with Boston's backcourt at full strength, his potential absence shouldn't have a major impact.

Scores efficiently off bench Pritchard provided 12 points (4-7 FG, 4-7 3Pt), three assists and one rebound in 18 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 119-109 win over the Grizzlies.

Impact Though he's typically on the fringe of head coach Joe Mazzulla's rotation when Boston is at full strength, Pritchard has now taken on 21- and 18-minute workloads over the past two games while Boston was without Jaylen Brown (face), Marcus Smart (ankle), Malcolm Brogdon (Achilles) and Al Horford (knee) for at least one of those contests. Horford is good to go moving forward after returning Sunday, but the three guards could all be at risk of missing both legs of the Celtics' Tuesday/Wednesday back-to-back set versus Milwaukee and Detroit to close out the pre-All-Star-break schedule. As a result, Pritchard looks like a good bet to continue seeing double-digit minutes for at least one more week.
