Celtics' Devin Carter: Without timetable for return
Carter has been diagnosed with mononucleosis and is without a timetable for a return, Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe reports.
Carter missed Boston's final three preseason games with the illness and is now expected to miss time to begin the regular season. He can be considered week-to-week until Boston provides an update on his progress. The 2024 first-rounder signed a two-way pact with the Celtics on Saturday and will provide backcourt depth for the club.

Celtics' Sam Hauser: Expected to suit up Tuesday
Hauser (rest) is expected to play in Tuesday's game against Detroit.
Hauser didn't play in Friday's 125-120 preseason overtime win over Philadelphia, though that was the case with most of the team's core performers. The 28-year-old averaged 9.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists, all career highs, in 78 regular-season games, including 49 starts, during the 2025-26 campaign. Hauser could be in line for an even better season, especially if Paul George, Jayson Tatum, Derrick White and Payton Pritchard miss time.

Celtics' Neemias Queta: Expected to suit up Tuesday
Queta (rest) is expected to play in Tuesday's game against the Pistons.
Queta didn't play in Friday's 125-120 preseason overtime win over Philadelphia. However, he is slated to suit up for Tuesday's meeting with Detroit. The 27-year-old is coming off a quality 2025-26 campaign, averaging 10.2 points, 8.4 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.3 blocks, all career highs, over 25.3 minutes per outing in 76 regular-season games. Queta could be in line for an even better year, especially if he maintains his spot in the starting lineup over Mitchell Robinson.

Celtics' Payton Pritchard: Set to play Tuesday
Pritchard (rest) is expected to play in Tuesday's game versus Detroit.
Pritchard didn't play in Friday's 125-120 preseason overtime win over Philadelphia but is on track to be on the floor when the Celtics begin the 2026-27 campaign versus the Pistons. The 2020 No. 26 overall pick is coming off his best season in 2025-26, averaging 17.0 points, 3.9 rebounds and 5.2 assists across 32.4 minutes per contest in 79 regular-season games, including 50 starts. With Jaylen Brown now in Philadelphia, there is room for Pritchard to take over as the No. 3 offensive option behind Paul George and Jayson Tatum, giving him more than enough upside for fantasy managers.

Celtics' Mitchell Robinson: On track to play Tuesday
Robinson (rest) is expected to play Tuesday versus Detroit.
Mitchell got the night off in Friday's 125-120 preseason overtime win over Philadelphia but is anticipated to suit up Tuesday against the Pistons to kick off the 2026-27 campaign. The 28-year-old, who signed with the Celtics during the offseason, spent his entire career with the Knicks since entering the NBA in 2018, averaging 7.5 points, 8.0 rebounds and 1.7 blocks over 23.4 minutes per contest in 397 regular-season games, including 215 starts. Mitchell has had issues staying healthy, and he's also not the most consistent offensive contributor. However, he's as good as it gets as a rebounder and shot-blocker.

Celtics' Derrick White: Expected to play Tuesday
White (rest) is expected to play in Tuesday's game against Detroit.
White didn't suit up for Friday's 125-120 preseason overtime win over the 76ers to rest but is expected to play versus the Pistons. The 32-year-old averaged a career-best 16.5 points along with 4.4 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.3 blocks and 1.1 steals over 34.1 minutes in 77 regular-season games in 2025-26. White did have some trouble finding the net, especially from deep, though he reportedly worked on his shot during the offseason.

Celtics' Mike Conley: Anticipated to play Tuesday
Conley (rest) is expected to play in Tuesday's game versus the Pistons.
Conley didn't play in Friday's 125-120 preseason overtime victory over the 76ers, the Celtics' final exhibition, though the veteran is in line to suit up Tuesday to begin the 2026-27 campaign against Detroit. Conley most recently averaged 4.5 points, 1.7 rebounds and 2.9 assists over 18.4 minutes per contest in 54 regular-season games with the Timberwolves in 2025-26. His role is mostly to provide guidance and leadership to a young, up-and-coming roster, so he will likely be off the floor more often than not. However, Conley could get some minutes intermittently during the year, and he might even make a few appearances as a starter.

Celtics' Paul George: In line to play Tuesday
George (rest) is in line to play Tuesday versus Detroit.
George didn't suit up for Friday's 125-120 preseason overtime win over Philadelphia to rest, though he is anticipated to be ready to go Tuesday versus the Pistons. The 36-year-old appeared in only 37 regular-season games for the 76ers in 2025-26, averaging 17.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.7 steals over 30.7 minutes per outing. Now paired with Jayson Tatum (rest), George still has All-Star upside, but he will need to figure out how to stay on the floor.

Celtics' Jayson Tatum: Expected to suit up Tuesday
Tatum (rest) is expected to play in Tuesday's opener against the Pistons.
Tatum didn't play in the 125-120 preseason overtime win over the 76ers on Friday. However, since he sat out that contest to rest, he is in line to play Tuesday in Detroit. The six-time All-Star appeared in 16 regular-season games in 2025-26 after working his way back from an Achilles injury, averaging 21.8 points, 10.0 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1.4 steals across 32.6 minutes per contest. With Jaylen Brown now in Philadelphia, Tatum is the undisputed top offensive option for the Celtics, and assuming he stays healthy, he should be considered an MVP candidate entering the 2026-27 campaign.

Celtics' Devin Carter: Gets two-way deal with Boston
Carter (illness) agreed to a two-way deal with the Celtics on Saturday, Michael Scotto of HoopsHype.com reports.
Carter was the No. 13 overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. Since then, he appeared in 74 regular-season games with the Kings, including 12 starts, averaging 6.4 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.9 assists over 14.8 minutes per contest. Carter might have some untapped potential left, though he has a way to go before earning a meaningful role with the Celtics.

Celtics' Milos Uzan: Solid scoring in preseason finale
Uzan chipped in with 14 points (4-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, an assist and a steal across 23 minutes in Friday's 125-120 preseason overtime win over the 76ers.
Uzan delivered an efficient scoring performance in a starting role, and it's safe to say the young floor general made the most of his opportunity. Even though his preseason performance made a positive impression, his regular-season opportunities remain uncertain given Boston's backcourt depth. He's not expected to have many minutes unless Boston suffers a rash of injuries in the backcourt.

Celtics' Ron Harper: Scores 16 points in overtime win
Harper tallied 16 points (7-20 FG, 1-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and a steal across 35 minutes in Friday's 125-120 preseason overtime win over the 76ers.
Harper logged a team-high 35 minutes and finished second on Boston in scoring behind Hugo Gonzalez, although his offensive efficiency left plenty to be desired. The guard connected on just one of his nine three-point attempts and committed five turnovers, but he remained aggressive throughout the contest and contributed to the Celtics' comeback. Harper also posted a team-best plus-18 rating, reflecting Boston's success during his time on the floor. After dealing with a shoulder injury earlier in the preseason, his extended workload was an encouraging sign. That said, he's not expected to see this kind of playing time in the regular season, reducing his fantasy appeal considerably.

Celtics' Baylor Scheierman: Struggles from field in overtime win
Scheierman posted seven points (1-11 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, five assists and a steal across 19 minutes in Friday's 125-120 preseason overtime win over the 76ers.
Scheierman made just one of his 11 field-goal attempts while missing five of his six shots from beyond the arc, so there's no question this was a subpar scoring display. However, the guard contributed in other areas, finishing with five assists and four rebounds while helping Boston overcome a fourth-quarter deficit. His playmaking provided some value despite the inefficient scoring, although his two turnovers and poor perimeter shooting limited his overall impact. Scheierman will look to bounce back offensively as the Celtics prepare for the regular season, and the former Creighton standout is expected to see consistent minutes, although his bench role will limit his fantasy upside considerably.
