#NEBHInjuryReport Celtics center Vincent Poirier suffered a fractured right pinkie finger during yesterday’s practice. The injury will require surgery and he is expected to return to play in approximately six weeks. Further updates will be provided as appropriate.

Celts now only have 2 healthy Centers.

Might as well let Tacko play.

Tacko will definitely be with the team for a few weeks.

I feel like Grant Williams will get the first crack at the 3rd string center minutes.

Unreal. We are so snake bit.  At a time when he could have gotten meaningful minutes, no less.

Call up Tacko.

That's tough for Poirier, but it doesn't really affect the Celtics either way. He never sees the floor in real games.

Probably got his hand hit on a swipe at the ball.

Or got it caught in a jersey, I've seen fingers fracture from that too plenty of times with players.

Eh, given that Williams is also out I think it does. Being down to two healthy Cs is not great.

It will impact them more in practice (which does ultimately impact the product on the floor for those who do end up playing).
