That's tough for Poirier, but it doesn't really affect the Celtics either way. He never sees the floor in real games.
Eh, given that Williams is also out I think it does. Being down to two healthy Cs is not great.

Robert Williams has been out a while though, including the Sixers game against Embiid, and Poirier didn’t see the floor. Stevens sticks with Theis and Kanter, with Grant Williams for short stints when going small. He had shown no interest in playing Poirier other than deep garbage time

Maine only plays once in the next 10 days, so it gives Tacko a chance to be on the bench as the break-glass center without taking developmental minutes away from him.

We need a big ASAP...

This team cannot rely on Theis and Kanter lasting a full season.

Timelord is always injured and Porier is nothing even if he is healthy...Lets give Tacko some PT..wouldn't really hurt at this point tbh.

If Grant Williams is our 3rd center, then we are in big trouble for sure
C/PF-Horford, Baynes, Noel, Theis, Morris,
SF/SG- Tatum, Brown, Hayward, Smart, Semi, Clark
PG- Irving, Rozier, Larkin
