There go our top 2 centers and our most used backup big in Grant Williams!

We're left with Theis and Tacko and that's it

[jambr380]

Well, I guess we won’t have to worry about those 2-big line-ups for a while. So, Theis, Tacko, and Semi(?) at Center. Glad we didn’t trade Theis!

it will be interesting to see what CBS comes up with. theis will get minutes, Fall a few minutes while he fouls out, and then maybe tatum near the basket? he can rebound and has some height.

lots of three point shooting coming up i suppose. 

EDIT: jambr may have the best response so far. semi's strength would let him push a few other players around and not be pushed himself.

tp jambr!

Perfect. Out of the four he's the one they need the least.
Adding insult to injury.

Looks like those clamoring for Nesmith to get minutes will be happy!

I assume Theis-Tacko-Semi-Tatum will get “big” minutes. We’ll probably trot out some Rockets-with-PJ-at-center type of lineups.

[td450]

Does anyone know if the league allow 10 day contract type solutions for situations like this?

Big minutes until Theis fouls out, followed shortly by Fall. Going to be a long two weeks.

Guess it will give a few guys a chance to step up.

so, you anticipate a line up of tacko, semi, carsen, waters, and nesmith?? 

[CFAN38]

This will be a great opportunity for Semi to log some major minutes.

This could also be make it or break it time for Tacko

can someone explain why this happens

is it that one player tests positive? 

or one has the flu and the others could be infected?

Don't think so

Celts still have 10 or more players available to play

[Tr1boy]

welp better than 76ers...the whole team has to quarantine after players test positive

Their schedule is going to be messed

Ha! That's exactly what I was thinking! TP

Well, this is awesome. Looks like they'll be back to playing .500 ball soon.
