Eligibility
Availability
Luke Kornet (hamstring) is listed as questionable to play in Sunday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks.
Fantasy Impact
The big man suffered a hamstring injury on Wednesday that may force him to miss Sunday's game. He missed Boston's last game because of it, and the team may opt to let him sit out as a precautionary measure, even if he is well enough to take the court. Neemias Queta will see a lot of work on Sunday if Kornet is out for another game.
Luke Kornet (hamstring) is unlikely to play in Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets.
Fantasy Impact
The big man suffered a hamstring injury during Wednesday's loss to the Warriors, and it looks like he's going to miss Friday's game as a result, barring anything unforeseen. Neemias Queta will be primed to see more work for however long Kornet remains out of Boston's rotation.
Luke Kornet scored four points (2-3 FG) and grabbed three rebounds in Tuesday's 132-109 win over the New York Knicks.
Fantasy Impact
The big man was quiet in his first game of the season on Tuesday. He underwent surgery on his wrist earlier this offseason, so it's possible that he is still working on knocking off the rust from his missed time. Fantasy managers shouldn't view him as a strong option for the time being.
Celtics team president Brad Stevens said that Luke Kornet underwent offseason surgery but has been fully cleared for the start of training camp.
Fantasy Impact
Xavier Tillman also underwent surgery in the offseason, but has been cleared for training camp. They could play a bit bigger of a role early in the season for Boston until Kristaps Porzingis (leg) is healthy.
Luke Kornet has agreed on a one-year deal to return to the Boston Celtics.
Fantasy Impact
Kornet likely remains in his backup center role for Boston.
