Magic (0-0) at Celtics (0-0) Preseason Game #1 10/4/21

[Celtics2021]

Be interesting to see who will be fighting for the end of bench guys..Grant better have a great preseason or he may be out

He struck a highly apologetic tone on Media Day, admitting that last year he was out of shape (too fat) and also admitted to not playing within his role.  He said those two things, plus 3-pt shooting were his focus areas for the off-season.

Unfortunately Grant is questionable with a foot sprain, so we may not see him until Saturday.

Update: He's been upgraded to available.

so is that a complete scratch for Al, or is he just not starting?

We’ll find out as the game progresses, but it feels like a complete scratch.
