Celtics Await Vucevic's Finger: 2 More Weeks?

Nikola Vucevic is progressing as planned after undergoing surgery for a fractured right ring finger two weeks ago. The Celtics big man is slated for X-rays next week, which will be crucial in determining his return to play. If cleared, his comeback could occur between three to four weeks post-surgery.

This timeline impacts potential chemistry-building with Jayson Tatum. A three-week return offers nine games, while a four-week absence reduces this to five. Vucevic, however, remains confident his skill set will integrate well with the team's offensive schemes. Luka Garza has capably filled the void, showcasing offensive rebounding and improved three-point shooting.
