As of May 2026, there isn’t a single, universally agreed-upon update in the public cycle that confirms a current active injury preventing him from playing in the 2025-26 season. Different outlets have reported on previous injuries (notably an Achilles setback in 2025) with varying timelines, but many later reports in March 2026 suggested he was progressing in rehab and had returned to practice in some capacity. For example, one source noted he was questionable coming off a long rehab period in early March 2026 while another indicated he was off an injury report by mid-March, suggesting he was (at least briefly) cleared to participate in a game. This reflects the typical evolving nature of injury timelines for high-profile players.[6][10]

In the immediate term, there is no definitive, current risk assessment or confirmed re-injury reported as of the most recent updates. If you’re tracking tonight’s Celtics game or this week’s schedule, the best approach is to check the Celtics’ official injury report and trusted outlets (ESPN, NBA.com, NBC Sports Boston) shortly before tip-off for the latest status, as these sources routinely post real-time injury designations and participation estimates.[3][4][5]

If you’re trying to infer likelihoods: past public reporting around his Achilles return suggested a careful, gradual ramp, with emphasis on full recovery before returning to peak play. However, those updates date back to last year’s recovery window, and current status depends on his ongoing rehab progress and medical clearance. For the most reliable read, refer to the Celtics’ official medical updates and credible outlets close to game time.[8][3]
Would you like me to pull the latest state from official sources (Celtics injury board, NBA.com, ESPN) and summarize them with direct quotes and dates? If you have a preferred outlet, tell me and I’ll prioritize it. Additionally, I can provide a quick forecast based on typical Achilles rehab timelines and Celtics rotation needs if you’re evaluating fantasy or betting implications.
