Eligibility
Availability
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.
Luke Kornet is available for Mondays game against the Pacers.
Fantasy Impact
Kornet is back after he was sidelined in Game 3. He'll remain in a limited role off the bench for the Celtics.
Luke Kornet is questionable for Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals with a wrist injury. Kornet missed Game 3 with the same wrist injury.
Fantasy Impact
Kornet has provided quality depth throughout the regular season and postseason at the power forward and center positions. With starting center Porzingis out for Game 4, Kornet could come into more playing time and increased productivity if he is able to suit up.
