Celtics' Luke Kornet: Cleared for camp
President of basketball operations Brad Stevens said Tuesday that Kornet had offseason wrist surgery, but he's 100 percent heading into training camp, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.
This sounds like a minor procedure for Kornet, and Stevens didn't sound concerned in the slightest. Kristaps Porzingis (foot) will miss the beginning of the season, so Kornet is a candidate to see a bump in playing time out of the gate. During 63 regular-season games in 2023-24, Kornet posted averages of 5.3 points and 4.1 rebounds in 15.6 minutes per game.

Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Good to go for camp
President of basketball operations Brad Stevens said Tuesday that Tillman had a knee scope during the offseason, but he will be a full go for training camp, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.
Stevens did not specify which knee it was, but the good news is that the issue is apparently behind Tillman. With Kristaps Porzingis (foot) sidelined to begin the season, Tillman will have an opportunity to earn some rotation minutes early on. In 20 regular-season games in 2023-24, Tillman averaged 4.0 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 13.7 minutes.

Celtics' Kristaps Porzingis: Making good progress
President of basketball operations Brad Stevens said Tuesday that Porzingis (foot) is making good progress since his foot surgery in June, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.
Stevens did not provide an updated timetable for Porzingis, but he said he's been surprised by how quickly he's improving. The Celtics originally gave Porzingis a 5-to-6-month timetable, and the center told ESPN's Ramona Shelburne that he's expecting to return in December. Currently, the big man is limited to jogging and light on-court work with minimal contact, per Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com. With Porzingis trending in the right direction, he'll offer plenty of appeal as a stash pick in fantasy drafts.
