I get that the Celts miss having some beef on the glass,  but I think it was kind of a sure thing that Sullinger was going to miss a significant amount of time this year regardless of who he was playing for.  It's a stress fracture, which was likely the result of him carrying that beefiness around his whole career.not some freak injury. 

Sully would not be helping with the anemic rebounding because he would be in street clothes. 
Yup

Although his weight doesn't help, I don't think it was the main reason he's out right now. I heard someone stepped over his foot. He would have avoided the injury if he stayed here. But of course, there is Zeller elbowing Horford which really affected our current record severely right now so, you can't really predict them.

We can't know that for sure. So somebody stepped over him in Toronto some one could have stepped over him here as well.

I'm with Redz, was not surprised at all to see that Sullinger got injured early and thinking absolutely had something to do with his weight/conditioning.
