Kornet contributed 13 points (5-5 FG, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and three blocks across 28 minutes during Sunday's 123-110 win over the Kings.

Victor Wembanyama (calf) was held out of the lineup, so Kornet made his first start of the season and produced his second double-double of 2025-26 in only his sixth game. The veteran center could have some fantasy intrigue in the short term if Wembanyama misses any further time, but Kornet is making a good case for an increased role in the frontcourt regardless.

Kornet will start Sunday's game against the Kings, Matt George of ABC 10 Sacramento reports.

Victor Wembanyama (calf) will miss his first game of the campaign Sunday, but he's considered day-to-day. Kornet has been terrific through five games this season, posting averages of 9.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 0.8 blocks in 22.0 minutes per contest.

Kornet racked up 16 points (6-6 FG, 4-6 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one block in 20 minutes during Monday's 121-117 victory over the Bulls.

Kornet returned from a seven-game absence as a result of an ankle injury, scoring a season-high 16 points. With Devin Vassell exiting the game due to a migraine, the Spurs opted to go with a big lineup, playing Kornet alongside Victor Wembanyama.

Kornet (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Nets, Paul Garcia of ProjectSpurs.com reports.

Kornet racked up 14 points (6-9 FG, 2-4 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists and one block over 35 minutes during Friday's 120-116 overtime victory over the Pelicans.

Kornet saw a vast increase in minutes and used them to turn in his first double-double of the season. He was brought in during the offseason from Boston and stepped in after Victor Wembanyama fouled out in overtime. The four assists were a pleasant sign as he adjusts to new teammates. Kornet's playing time will be a big factor into whether or not fantasy owners can expect nights like this on a consistent basis. We'll see if he can put another strong showing together against the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday.

Kornet logged 15 points (5-7 FG, 5-5 FT), six rebounds and one block over 21 minutes during the Spurs' 133-104 preseason win over the Pacers on Friday.

Kornet put together another strong performance in the preseason as he led the Spurs' bench in scoring and rebounds. The ninth-year center signed a four-year, $41 million contract with the Spurs after spending the last three-plus years with the Celtics. Kornet figures to play a key role off the pine as the first center off the bench, though the Spurs could also deploy a two-big lineup with the Vanderbilt product and Victor Wembanyama sharing the floor.

Kornet produced 16 points (6-6 FG, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal in 22 minutes of Monday's 124-108 preseason win over Indiana.

Kornet has been an obvious standout for the Spurs throughout the preseason, and at times, he has shown that he can be utilized alongside Victor Wembanyama. Through three exhibitions, Kornet is averaging10.7 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.0 blocks in 18.6 minutes per contest.

Kornet finished with seven points (2-4 FG, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists and two blocks in 18 minutes of Friday's 134-130 preseason win over the Jazz.

With Kelly Olynyk (heel) still sidelined, Kornet may have run away with the backup center job with a strong showing in the preseason. Additionally, Kornet has shown that he can thrive alongside Victor Wembanyama in certain situations as well.

Kornet logged nine points (4-6 FG, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block in 16 minutes of Wednesday's 112-107 preseason win over Miami.

After putting up 16 points (6-6 FG, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and one assist in 14 minutes during Monday's 119-88 preseason victory, Kornet kept it rolling Wednesday. The big takeaway from the preseason is that the Spurs have utilized Kornet alongside Victor Wembanyama for stretches, meaning he could see a few more minutes per game than initially projected.

Kornet finished with 16 points (6-6 FG, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and one assist in 14 minutes during Monday's 119-88 preseason victory.

After signing a four-year deal with the Spurs during the offseason, it appears as though Kornet will begin the season as the primary backup behind Victor Wembanyama. While this was an encouraging performance, it should be noted that Wembanyama didn't play at all during the second half, allowing Kornet to feast on what was an undersized opponent. With that said, Kornet is no stranger to playing limited minutes off the bench, a role he has thrived in for the majority of his career. Look for him to play minutes in the mid-teens, stepping up if and when Wembanyama misses time throughout the season.

Kornet agreed to a four-year, $41 million contract with the Spurs on Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

The Spurs needed to bolster their frontcourt depth, and Kornet will likely operate as the backup center behind Victor Wembanyama. Kornet, an eight-year veteran, averaged 6.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.0 blocks per game across 73 regular-season outings with the Celtics in 2024-25.

Kornet closed with 11 points (5-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, four blocks and one steal across 30 minutes during Sunday's 93-86 win over the Hornets.

Kornet has tallied four or more blocks in three outings this season, posting at least 10 points and eight boards on six occasions.

Kornet is in Boston's starting lineup against Charlotte on Sunday, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Kornet will make his 16th start of the season Sunday due to Kristaps Porzingis (illness) and Al Horford (knee) both sidelined. Kornet has started in three of the Celtics' last six games, and over that span he has averaged 10.5 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.5 assists over 20.7 minutes per game.

Kornet isn't in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Knicks, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Kristaps Porzingis will reclaim his starting spot from Kornet after missing Boston's previous contest due to an illness. Kornet has averaged 8.5 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 18.9 minutes across his last 10 appearances coming off the bench.

Kornet posted 13 points (6-9 FG, 1-2 FT), 14 rebounds and three assists over 26 minutes during Sunday's 124-90 victory over Washington.

Jayson Tatum did not play Sunday against Washington due to a sprained left ankle, allowing Kornet to start in the frontcourt alongside Al Horford. The Celtics have the second seed in the Eastern Conference locked up heading into the final week of the regular season, and Kornet could see ample playing time if the Celtics rest their key players.

Kornet will start Sunday's game against the Wizards, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.

With Jayson Tatum (ankle) and Kristaps Porzingis (illness) sidelined, Kornet and Al Horford will start in the frontcourt. As a starter this season, Kornet has averaged 9.5 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.8 blocks and 0.9 steals in 27.9 minutes per game.

Kornet is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Suns, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

The Celtics will play a very strong lineup for this matchup against the Suns, so Kornet will return to his regular role as a depth option in the frontcourt. Kristaps Porzingis will start in this game, and Al Horford will also be available off the bench, so Kornet isn't expected to see many minutes.

Kornet is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Heat, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

The Celtics will be shorthanded in the frontcourt due to the absences of Al Horford (toe) and Kristaps Porzingis (illness), so Kornet will get the start at center. The big man is averaging 9.1 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.0 blocks per game in his previous 12 starts this season.

Kornet (illness) is not listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against Miami, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Kornet missed Monday's tilt against Memphis due to an illness, but he's set to be available for Wednesday. With Kristaps Porzingis (reconditioning) questionable and Al Horford (toe) doubtful to play against the Heat, Kornet may be asked to make a spot start in the middle. Kornet averaged 7.2 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.1 blocks in 22.2 minutes through 14 games last month.

Kornet (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Grizzlies, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Kornet (illness) is questionable for Monday's game against Memphis, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Kornet was a late addition to the injury report after presumably waking up under the weather. If Kornet is unable to give it a go, it's possible that Neemias Queta gets an opportunity to pick up some backup center minutes.

Kornet logged 15 points (7-10 FG, 1-2 FT), 16 rebounds, four assists and one steal in 31 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 121-111 victory over the Spurs.

The 16 boards were a season high for Kornet, who hadn't pulled down double-digit rebounds in a game since he made a spot start Feb. 8 against the Knicks. The 29-year-old center's role on the second unit makes him an unreliable fantasy option, but he's been a little more consistent of late, scoring in double digits in four of the last seven contests while averaging 8.3 points, 7.3 boards, 1.6 assists and 1.1 blocks in 21.1 minutes while shooting 73.0 percent from the floor.

Kornet racked up 13 points (6-6 FG, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and three assists across 19 minutes during Sunday's 129-116 victory over Portland.

Kristaps Porzingis (illness) sat this game out for Boston, and Kornet was able to snap out of his slump as a result -- Kornet scored a total of five points across 29 minutes of his previous two outings. With Al Horford likely to rest Monday against the Kings, Kornet could see a healthy workload in that contest.

Kornet is in the Celtics' starting lineup against the Heat on Friday, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.

With Jaylen Brown (knee) out Friday, head coach Joe Mazulla has opted to go with a big starting frontcourt of Kornet, Al Horford and Jayson Tatum. It marks the fifth time Kornet will be in the starting five over Boston's last seven games. Kornet has averaged 5.9 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.2 blocks over 21.3 minutes per game since the All-Star break.

Kornet is not in Boston's starting lineup against Oklahoma City on Wednesday.

Kornet has started in four of the Celtics' last five games and has averaged 6.0 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.4 blocks over 25.4 minutes per game over that span. He'll come off the bench Wednesday due to the return of Al Horford (toe), but Kornet should still see prominent playing time due to the absence of Kristaps Porzingis (illness).

Kornet is in the Celtics' starting lineup against the Jazz on Monday.

Kornet will make his fourth start since the beginning of March due to the absences of Kristaps Porzingis (illness) and Al Horford (toe). Kornet has averaged 5.0 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.6 blocks over 23.2 minutes per game over his last five outings.

Kornet has started in the Celtics' last three games and has averaged 6.4 points, 4.7 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 2.0 blocks over 28.7 minutes per contest. He'll come off the bench Saturday while Al Horford enters the starting lineup, but Kornet should still see some meaningful minutes off the bench due to Kristaps Porzingis (illness) being sidelined.

Kornet had nine points (4-4 FG, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and four blocks in 32 minutes during Thursday's 123-105 win over the 76ers.

Al Horford (toe) and Kristaps Porzingis (illness) were both held out Thursday, allowing Kornet to make another start for Boston. For the most part, he's been a serviceable streamer when the Celtics have been shorthanded this season. In 10 total starts this campaign, Kornet holds averages of 10.0 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 2.3 blocks and 0.9 steals.

Kornet registered eight points (3-5 FG, 2-4 FT), one rebound, four assists and one block over 31 minutes during Sunday's 110-103 victory over the Nuggets.

Kornet got the starting nod due to injuries with multiple Boston players, contributing offensively while ending two points short of the double-digit mark. Kornet has started in eight games this season, tallying at least eight points and three assists in two of those contests.

Kornet will start Sunday's game against the Nuggets, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.

With Kristaps Porzingis (illness) and Jrue Holiday (finger) sidelined, Boston will start Derrick White, Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, Al Horford and Kornet. In seven starts this season, Kornet has averaged 11.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 2.4 blocks and 1.3 steals in 29.1 minutes per game.

Kornet (personal) is available for Friday's game against the Cavaliers, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Kornet is questionable for Friday's game against Cleveland due to personal reasons, Zack Cox of the Boston Herald reports.

Kornet has a chance to end a two-game absence Friday. If the big man doesn't rejoin the lineup, however, the Celtics may need Neemias Queta and Xavier Tillman to handle the backup center role. Jaylen Brown (thigh) and Jrue Holiday (finger) are also uncertain to play, so Al Horford could be tasked with a spot start.

Kornet (personal) will not play Wednesday against Detroit, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Kornet will miss his second consecutive game with his next chance to play coming Friday against Cleveland. Kristaps Porzingis (illness) is questionable, so Torrey Craig and Neemias Queta may get a chance to see some reps at center.

Kornet (personal) is out for Tuesday's game against the Raptors, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Kornet's absence should clear up some extra minutes from the bench Tuesday, and his next chance to return arrives Wednesday in Detroit. With Al Horford (toe) questionable against Toronto, Neemias Queta (illness) and Xavier Tillman (knee) are likely to play and could split the backup center minutes.

Kornet is not in the Celtics' starting lineup against the Heat on Monday, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.

Kornet was a late insert into the Celtics' starting lineup against the Knicks on Saturday, and he finished that contest with 14 points, 12 rebounds, three blocks, one assist and one steal over 29 minutes in a 131-104 win. He will retreat to the bench Monday due to the return of Kristaps Porzingis (illness), though Kornet should see some playing time in double-big lineups alongside Porzingis and Al Horford against the Miami duo of Bam Adebayo and Kel'el Ware.

Kornet chipped in 14 points (7-7 FG), 12 rebounds, three blocks, one assist and one steal over 29 minutes during Saturday's 131-104 victory over the Knicks.

Kornet won't start Wednesday's game against the Bulls.

Kornet picked up a spot start Monday due to Derrick White (leg) and Al Horford (toe) being sidelined. Although Horford remains out Wednesday, White is healthy and will take Kornet's spot in the first unit.

Kornet totaled 18 points (8-9 FG, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 33 minutes during Monday's 114-112 loss to the Rockets.

This was a terrific showing for Kornet as he picked up the start with Derrick White (leg) unavailable. Al Horford (toe) was expected to play, but was ultimately a late scratch that went unreported by Boston. Kornet has fared well as a fill-in starter this season, averaging 11.2 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 2.3 blocks in six games.

Kornet will start in Monday's matchup against the Rockets, John Karalis of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.

The big man will receive his sixth start of the season with Al Horford coming off the bench Monday. Kornet has averaged 9.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.6 blocks, 2.0 assists and 1.4 steals in 28.4 minutes per game over his five appearances in the starting lineup thus far.

Kornet posted two points (1-4 FG), nine rebounds, five assists and two blocks across 17 minutes during Saturday's 122-107 win over Dallas.

Kornet grabbed a team-high nine rebounds, continuing to serve as an above-average backup center. Although he remains clearly behind Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford, Kornet has been able to make the most of his opportunities, typically as a result of either rest or injury to those around him. He should be able to maintain a 15-minute role moving forward, even more when Porzingis or Horford are sidelined.

Kornet will return to a bench role for the Celtics in Friday's game against the Lakers.

After starting Wednesday's win against the Clippers, Kornet will assume his usual role off the bench. Boston is getting key players back for this matchup. The 29-year-old big man had a forgettable performance Wednesday, finishing with two points, two rebounds, an assist, a steal and a block.

Kornet is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Clippers, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

Kornet will step into the first unit for the second time in three games, benefitting from the absences of Kristaps Porzingis (illness) and Al Horford (toe) on the first night of a back-to-back. In four starts this season, Kornet is averaging 11.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.5 steals and 3.0 blocks across 28.0 minutes.

Kornet will start against the Hawks on Saturday, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.

The Celtics will be without Al Horford (toe) and Kristaps Porzingis (rest) on the second leg of this back-to-back set, putting Kornet on the streaming radar. In three previous starts this season, Kornet averaged 10.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 3.3 blocks.

Kornet recorded nine points (4-7 FG, 1-4 FT), 10 boards, four assists, a steal and a block in 24 minutes of action during the win over the Rockets on Friday.

With Al Horford (rest) on the bench, Kornet did a little bit of everything in Friday's blowout victory, making his presence known in every facet of the game. Although he outplayed Neemias Queta and logged just four minutes less than starter Kristaps Porzingis, Kornet will likely struggle to find a real foothold in the clogged front court once Horford returns.

Kornet amassed six points (3-4 FG, 0-1 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 20 minutes during Wednesday's 118-114 loss to the 76ers.

Despite losing to the Celtics on Christmas Day, Kornet had a solid performance, ripping down double-digit rebounds and helping Boston remain competitive after Kristaps Porzingis went down with an injury against Philadelphia. Kornet could see a bump in minutes if Porzingis misses time with the ankle injury.

Kornet registered seven points (1-3 FG, 5-8 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and one block over 27 minutes during Sunday's 112-98 win over the Wizards.

Kornet saw extended run with Al Horford getting the night off for rest. That's likely to happen often this season, so fantasy managers should keep Kornet in mind as a streaming option the next time that Horford sits.

Kornet finished Wednesday's 130-120 victory over the Pistons with nine points (4-6 FG, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals in 21 minutes.

Kornet played at least 20 minutes for the second straight game, coming within a whisker of his first double-double of the season. Despite being the third-string center in Boston, injuries and rest often afford Kornet additional playing time, much like this performance. Whenever one of either Kristaps Porzingis or Al Horford is given the night off, Kornet should be at the top of the list of beneficiaries.

Kornet isn't part of the second unit for Wednesday's game against the Pistons, Zack Cox of the Boston Herald reports.

Kornet drew a start Monday for the second leg of a back-to-back set. However, with the Celtics frontcourt healthy, Kornet will rejoin the reserves. He swatted six shots in 27 minutes during the start.

Kornet produced six points (3-4 FG), four rebounds, three assists and six blocks in 27 minutes during Monday's 108-89 victory over the Heat.

Making his third start of the season, Kornet swatted a season-high six shots while filling in at center for the resting Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford on the second night of a back-to-back set. Kornet did a fine job defending Bam Adebayo, who went just 6-for-18 from the field for the Heat. Kornet doesn't necessarily have a defined role in Boston's rotation on a nightly basis, but he's been effective in 10 appearances as a starter since 2023-24, averaging 10.7 points, 7.9 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 2.5 blocks in 28.2 minutes per game while shooting 74.6 percent from the floor during this period dating back to last season. The 29-year-old veteran big man is a worthy plug-and-play option for fantasy managers on occasions that he joins the first unit, which is something to watch out for when the Celtics play back-to-back games once again Friday against the Bucks and Saturday against the Grizzlies.

Kornet is in the Celtics' starting five for Monday's game against the Heat, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Kornet will make his third start of the 2024-25 campaign Monday due to the absences of Kristaps Porzingis (rest) and Al Horford (rest/toe), which means Neemias Queta should see increased minutes off the bench. In his last start, Kornet logged 19 points, four rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 30 minutes against the Hornets on Nov. 2.

Kornet (hamstring) is available for Friday's game against the Bulls, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Kornet will suit up after a two-game absence due to right hamstring tightness. The big man has missed three of the club's last four games, and in his last five appearances he has averaged 3.6 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.8 assists across 15.6 minutes per game.

Kornet (hamstring) is probable for Friday's game against the Bulls, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Kornet is dealing with right hamstring tightness, but the probable tag suggests the big man could be ready to return Friday. However, Al Horford (illness) is also expected back and Kristaps Porzingis is also available, so Kornet isn't expected to be a major factor in the rotation going forward.

Kornet (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Clippers.

As expected, Kornet and Al Horford (illness) have been downgraded from doubtful to out, However, Kristaps Porzingis (foot) is cleared to make his season debut. Kornet's next chance to suit up will come Friday in Chicago.

Kornet (hamstring) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Clippers.

Kornet is expected to miss his second game in a row, while Al Horford (illness) is expected to sit as well. The Celtics are expected to get Kristaps Porzingis (foot) back in the lineup, however, so Kornet's fantasy appeal is likely going to take a big hit going forward.

Kornet has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Timberwolves due to right hamstring tightness.

Kornet is dealing with a lingering hamstring injury and was a late scratch for Sunday's matchup. With the big man out, Neemias Queta will likely see an uptick in playing time off the bench behind Al Horford.

Kornet closed Friday's 108-96 win over the Wizards with six points (3-3 FG, 0-1 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 24 minutes.

Kornet played at least 24 minutes for just the second time in the past nine games, continuing his underwhelming start to the season. With Kristaps Porzingis yet to see the court, there was some belief that Kornet would assume the role as the backup center behind veteran Al Horford. However, Neemais Queta has seemingly moved ahead of Kornet in the rotation, cutting into his overall appeal even more.

Kornet (hamstring) is available for Sunday's game against the Bucks.

Kornet will return to action after a one-game absence due to a hamstring injury. He's started two of his nine appearances this season but will likely come off the bench Sunday, as Jaylen Brown (hip) is cleared to make his return from a four-game absence. Kornet has averaged 15.7 minutes per game across seven appearances as a reserve this season.

Kornet (hamstring) is questionable to play Sunday against the Bucks, Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe reports.

Kornet tweaked his hamstring during Wednesday's loss to Golden State and missed Friday's overtime win over the Nets. The questionable tag for this matchup doesn't bode well for his chances of playing. If he's out, then either Neemias Queta or Xavier Tillman would earn another start in the frontcourt alongside Al Horford.

Kornet (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Nets, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Kornet tweaked his hamstring during Wednesday's loss to Golden State and was deemed doubtful before being downgraded to out. The big man's absence could open up an increased role for Jordan Walsh with Neemias Queta starting in the frontcourt while Jaylen Brown (hip) is out. Kornet has averaged 4.9 points and 4.2 rebounds across 18.1 minutes through nine regular-season appearances. HIs next chance to suit up will come Sunday against Milwaukee.

Kornet (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game versus the Nets, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Kornet is expected to miss Friday's contest after tweaking his left hamstring against Golden State. If Kornet is downgraded to out, Xavier Tillman is a candidate to receive increased minutes off the bench in Boston's frontcourt.

Kornet has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against the Warriors due to left hamstring tightness, Marc D'Amico of the Celtics' official site reports.

Kornet tweaked his hamstring during Wednesday's matchup and will not return. He finishes with two points (0-1 FG, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists across 14 minutes. Jordan Walsh and Xavier Tillman could see an extra minute or two down the stretch. Kornet's next chance to play will come Friday against Brooklyn.

Kornet isn't starting Monday's game against the Hawks, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.

Kornet has started Boston's last two contests at center, but it'll be Neemias Queta who gets the call Monday night, marking his first NBA start. Kornet is averaging 3.2 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.6 assists in five games off the bench so far this season.

Kornet finished with 19 points (6-6 FG, 7-7 FT), four rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal over 30 minutes during Saturday's 113-103 win over the Hornets.

Kornet was in the Celtics' starting lineup for a second straight game Saturday as Jaylen Brown was sidelined with a hip injury. Kornet used his size advantage effectively against the Hornets to score a season-high 19 points, which was his highest scoring output in the regular season since Dec. 29 against the Raptors (20). Kornet will go back to the bench once Brown returns from his injury, but the former should see some starts during the regular season on back-to-backs where Horford will typically rest in one of those contests.

Kornet totaled five points (2-2 FG, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal over 24 minutes during Friday's 124-109 win over the Hornets.

Kornet shifted into the starting lineup, replacing Al Horford who was resting on the first night of a back-to-back. Despite starting, Kornet failed to produce anything of note, other than his three combined steals and blocks. Based on this performance and what we have seen from Kornet thus far, he is not someone who needs to be prioritized, even when Horford is chilling on the sideline.

Kornet is in the starting five for Friday's game versus the Hornets, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

Kornet will replace Al Horford (rest) in the starting lineup Friday. While Kornet has yet to play at least 20 minutes in a game this season, he should receive an uptick in playing time against Charlotte.

Kornet notched eight points (1-5 FG, 6-6 FT), nine rebounds and two assists in 16 minutes during Wednesday's 135-132 overtime loss to Indiana.

Kornet's perfect shooting from the charity stripe helped him record his most points through the first games of the 2024-25 campaign. The 29-year-old big man is averaging 3.2 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 16.0 minutes across five appearances this season.

Kornet produced four points (2-3 FG), three rebounds and one assist in 16 minutes during Thursday's 122-102 win over the Wizards.

Kornet has now played 31 total minutes over the first two games of the season. With Kristaps Porzingis out until early December and 38-year-old Al Horford needing rest, expect Kornet, Xavier Tillman and Neemias Queta to see decent minutes over the next few weeks. The issue is, though, that reserve minutes will probably be split equally between those the three back-ups. Boston has their first back-to-back on November 1st and 2nd. Expect Kornet, Tillman and Queta to receive an extra minutes boost at that time.

Kornet (rest) will play in Tuesday's preseason game against the Raptors, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.

After resting Sunday against Toronto, Kornet, along with the rest of Boston's usual starters, will return to action for Tuesday's rematch. With Kristaps Porzingis (foot) unavailable to start the campaign and Al Horford's veteran restrictions, Kornet will play a key role for the reigning champions early on.

Coach Joe Mazzulla said Kornet (rest) won't play in Sunday's preseason game against the Raptors, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

With Kristaps Porzingis (foot) unavailable and Al Horford resting, Kornet has been Boston's starting center during the preseason, but he'll get a night off Sunday. Xavier Tillman, Neemias Queta and Dmytro Skapintsev are all candidates for increased roles Sunday.

Kornet amassed 15 points (7-10 FG, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal in 18 minutes during Saturday's preseason win over the 76ers.

Kornet continues to play well as the fill-in starter, flirting with a double-double in just 18 minutes. With Kristaps Porzingis (foot) slated to miss up to two months of action and Al Horford dealing with age limitations, Kornet could be an intriguing streaming consideration, even in standard formats. If and when Horford is given the night off, Kornet's familiarity with the offense and fantasy-friendly skill set could make him worth a pick up for short stretches.

Kornet scored six points (3-5 FG) while adding 11 rebounds, three assists and a steal across 22 minutes in Friday's 107-103 preseason win over the Nuggets.

The big man was tied for the team's lead in the plus/minus department with plus-12, and he made his presence felt on both ends of the court, particularly as a rebounding threat and a passing option in the post. Al Horford will open the season as the starting center while Kristaps Porzingis (foot) works in his recovery, but don't rule Kornet emerging as a realistic option for the backup role ahead of other options such as Xavier Tillman and Neemias Queta.

Kornet is in the starting five for Friday's preseason opener against the Nuggets.

With Kristaps Porzingis (foot) out, Kornet will get the starting nod in Boston's preseason opener. Until Porzingis is able to return, Kornet will likely compete with Al Horford for the starting center job.

Brad Stevens said 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.

Kornet has agreed to a one-year deal with the Celtics, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Kornet bounced back during his second full season with the Celtics in 2023-24, averaging 5.3 points and 4.1 rebounds in 15.6 minutes per game over 63 regular-season appearances. The 28-year-old will remain with the Celtics for the 2024-25 campaign and will likely play a similar role while mainly coming off the bench.

Kornet (wrist) will play in Monday's Game 4 against Indiana, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

Kornet was spotted warming up with tape on his injured left wrist prior to tipoff, and he's been cleared to give it a go. He logged 13 minutes in Game 1 before suffering the wrist injury in Game 2 and should see reserve minutes again Monday night behind Al Horford.

Kornet (wrist) is questionable for Monday's Eastern Conference Finals Game 4 against the Pacers, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

Kornet suffered a sprained left wrist early in Game 2 against Indiana and carried a doubtful tag prior to Game 3, before being officially held out. The questionable tag is a slight upgrade, but with the Celtics up 3-0 there is no indication they will risk further injuring the 28-year-old before a potential finals series. If Kornet is unable to go, Oshae Brissett will likely serve as the backup center.

Kornet (wrist) will not play in Saturday's Game 3 against the Pacers.

This news is expected, as Kornet was previously carrying a doubtful tag. Oshae Brissett is likely to pick up a handful of reserve minutes with Kornet sidelined if Game 2 is any indication.

Kornet (wrist) is doubtful for Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Pacers on Saturday, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Kornet exited Thursday's Game 2 due to a left wrist sprain and will likely be unavailable for at least one matchup. Assuming Kornet is sidelined, Oshae Brissett could see additional run for Boston.

Kornet (wrist) had two rebounds in five minutes during Thursday's 126-110 victory over Indiana in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

Kornet didn't return to the game, and the big man's status for Game 3 of the series Saturday should be treated with caution. If he can't go, then Xavier Tillman would operate as Al Horford's backup.

Kornet is questionable to return to Thursday's Game 2 against the Pacers due to a left wrist sprain.

The potential absence of Kornet will hurt the team's frontcourt depth, as the Celtics are already missing Kristaps Porzingis (calf). If Kornet can't return, then Xavier Tillman would be in line to absorb minutes as Al Horford's backup.

Kornet (calf) is available for Monday's Game 4 against the Cavaliers.

Kornet was probable for Monday's matchup and will officially be able to suit up once again. Over the first three games of the series, he's averaged 3.0 points and 4.7 rebounds in 13.7 minutes per game.

Kornet (right calf tightness) is listed as probable for Monday's Game 4 against the Cavaliers, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Kornet sustained a calf strain in late April but has suited up for each of the last six games for Boston. If he were to end up missing Monday's tilt, Xavier Tillman would likely work behind Al Horford at the five.

Kornet (calf) tallied two points (2-2 FT) and one rebound across five minutes Saturday in the Celtics' 104-84 win over the Heat in Game 3 of the first-round playoff series.

After Kornet was ruled out of the Celtics' playoff opener April 21, head coach Joe Mazzulla labeled the backup center as week-to-week after he strained his right calf during a practice. Ultimately, Kornet missed just two games on account of the issue, as he took back a small role in the Boston rotation in his return to action Saturday. Kornet is unlikely to see his playing time grow substantially as the Celtics' playoff run continues.

Kornet (calf) is available for Saturday's game against the Heat.

The availability of Kornet means the Celtics will be at full strength for Game 3 of the series against the Heat. Kornet should see minutes off the bench, though he's likely to have a very limited role with both Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford available.

Kornet (calf) is probable for Saturday's Game 3 in Miami.

After starting the final two regular-season games while the usual starters rested, Kornet was sidelined for the first two postseason games while rehabbing a calf injury. Even if he gets the green light, Kornet isn't guaranteed a significant role, especially if Al Horford and Kristaps Porzingis remain healthy.

Coach Joe Mazzule said Thursday that Kornet (calf) is feeling good and more will be known about his injury Friday depending on how he responds to work being done on the court, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

Kornet has already missed the first two games of Boston's first-round series against Miami with a calf injury. While Kornet could return to action if the series is drawn out, the Celtics appear to be using Al Horford as their sole bench big.

Kornet (calf) is regarded as "week-to-week" after suffering a calf injury at practice this week, Brian Robb of The Springfield Republican reports.

Kornet's injury opens the door for Xavier Tillman to log third-string center minutes and step into the occasional frontcourt mismatch scenario with his strength. Kornet averaged just 2.1 points and 1.3 rebounds in 4.0 minutes across eight postseason appearances last year, so there isn't precedent for much rotational change in Boston.

Kornet is out for Sunday's game against the Heat due to a right calf strain, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Kornet gives the Celtics size down low, but he wasn't expected to play heavy minutes off the bench as long as Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford are healthy. Kornet averaged 5.3 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.0 blocks across 15.6 minutes per game in 63 regular-season appeaeances.

Kornet registered 11 points (4-5 FG, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and three blocks in 27 minutes during Sunday's 132-122 win over Washington.

Like Friday's game against Charlotte, Kornet was in the starting lineup for Sunday's contest with the Celtics resting all of their starters plus Al Horford (rest). Kornet registered three blocks for the eighth time this season, and he ended scored in double digits for a second straight game. Kornet established himself as a key big man off the bench for Boston, and he finishes the season averaging 5.3 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.0 blocks over 15.6 minutes per game.

Kornet logged 16 points (7-10 FG, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds and three assists across 25 minutes during Friday's 131-98 win over the Hornets.

Kornet got his sixth start of the season Friday with the Celtics resting all of their starters plus Al Horford (toe). Kornet took advantage of the opportunity, as he managed to register his first double-double of the season and the third of his career. He'll likely get the start at center for Boston's regular-season finale against Washington on Sunday.

Kornet is in the starting five for Friday's game versus the Hornets, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Kornet will replace Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) in the starting lineup Friday. Kornet is averaging 10.0 points, 9.8 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 2.4 blocks in 30.0 minutes across his last five starting appearances.

Kornet isn't starting Monday's game against the Hawks, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Kornet got the nod at center Saturday against the Bulls, but he'll retreat to his usual bench role with Kristaps Porzingis back in action following a maintenance day off. Kornet is averaging 6.3 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.4 blocks in 11 March appearances (three starts).

Kornet supplied eight points (4-5 FG), 13 rebounds, four assists and two blocks across 31 minutes during Saturday's 124-113 win over Chicago.

Kornet moved into the starting lineup Saturday, replacing Kristaps Prorzingis who was given the night off as part of his injury management. As he tends to do whenever he is afforded significant minutes, Kornet came through for anyone who happened to stream him in. While he is probably not worth holding, managers should continue to monitor the rotation in Boston, waiting for the perfect opportunity to snap him up again.

Kornet is in the starting lineup to face the Bulls on Saturday, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.

Kornet will move to the starting lineup with Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) sidelined, and he will slot at center alongside Al Horford in the frontcourt. Kornet is averaging 10.5 points, 9.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 2.5 blocks per game in a starting role this season.

Kornet isn't in the starting five for Wednesday's game versus the Bucks, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.

Kornet will be replaced by Al Horford in the starting lineup Wednesday. Kornet is averaging 8.0 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.4 blocks and 1.0 assists in 17.8 minutes across his last five appearances coming off the bench.

Kornet registered four points (2-4 FG), 10 rebounds, three blocks and two steals over 28 minutes during Monday's 119-94 win over the Pistons.

In addition to strong rim protection and defensive playmaking, Kornet racked up six offensive rebounds, all of which came in the first half. Among all players with at least 200 rebounds this season, Kornet's 14.1 percent offensive rebounding rate is the seventh best mark in the league.

Kornet is starting Monday's game against Detroit, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.

Kornet will join the starting lineup for the second time in four games, as the Celtics will be without Jayson Tatum (ankle), Sam Hauser (ankle) and Al Horford (rest). Kornet tallied 12 points, nine rebounds, six assists and one block over 28 minutes in Tuesday's spot start against the Jazz.

Kornet finished with 12 points (4-7 FG, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and one block across 28 minutes during Tuesday's 123-107 victory over the Jazz.

The Green Kornet was fantastic in what was only his third start of the season. The absence of Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) and Al Horford (toe) allowed Kornet to shine. His nine rebounds matched his season high. The Vanderbilt product produced exactly the kind of spark needed by Boston on the end of their five-game road trip. Alas, Kornet will probably return to his reserve role when the C's return to Boston on Thursday to face the Suns.

Kornet is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Jazz.

With Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) and Al Horford (toe) out, Kornet will enter the starting lineup. Kornet is averaging 13.0 points, 8.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 3.0 blocks in 31.5 minutes across his previous two starts this season.

Kornet closed with 14 points (6-7 FG, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and one block in 20 minutes during Saturday's 117-107 victory over the Suns.

Kornet capitalized on his looks from the field, chipped it on the glass, and brought his signature brand of two-way activity to the Celtics' bench rotation. Xavier Tillman was a healthy scratch Saturday, and it will be interesting to see if he re-emerges in a role Monday against Portland, but Kornet is firmly ahead on Boston's depth chart.

Kornet (hamstring) tallied two points (0-2 FG, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one block across 15 minutes in Sunday's 131-91 win over the Grizzlies.

In his return from a three-game absence due to a hamstring injury, Kornet re-entered the rotation as the Celtics' backup center. Fellow center Neemias Queta nearly produced a double-double off the bench with eight points and eight rebounds, but he was clearly behind Kornet, as Queta didn't check into the game until 9:40 remained in the fourth quarter. The Celtics were without Jaylen Brown (back) on Sunday and moved Al Horford into the starting five in his stead, so Kornet's minutes ceiling could be a bit lower Wednesday against the Hawks if Brown is back in action and Horford is moved to the bench.

Kornet (hamstring) is available for Sunday's game against Memphis, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

As expected, Kornet will shake off a probable tag and suit up Sunday, ending a three-game absence due to a hamstring injury. Before he was sidelined, the backup big man played at least 18 minutes in four straight games, averaging 8.3 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.3 blocks in 19.8 minutes during that stretch.

Kornet (hamstring) is probable for Sunday's game against Memphis, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Kornet is expected to return after three consecutive games on the sidelines. Boston's backup center is averaging 6.7 points, 5.4 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.3 blocks in 19.1 minutes over his past 10 games.

Kornet (hamstring) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Lakers, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Kornet continues to deal with left hamstring tightness and will be unavailable for a third consecutive game. His next chance to suit up will be Sunday against Memphis. Sam Hauser and Al Horford are candidates to see increased run Thursday.

Kornet (hamstring) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Lakers, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Kornet has missed the last two games due to a tight left hamstring, but it's somewhat encouraging that he's deemed questionable on Boston's initial injury report for Thursday's game after being listed as doubtful for the previous two matchups. Over his last five appearances, he's averaged 7.4 points and 5.2 rebounds in 17.4 minutes per game.

Kornet (hamstring) will not play Tuesday versus Indiana, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Kornet will miss his second consecutive game due to left hamstring tightness. The 28-year-old's next opportunity to take the court comes Thursday against Los Angeles. Kristaps Porzingis should operate in a large role Tuesday, while Oshae Brissett or Lamar Stevens could be incorporated into the center rotation.

Kornet (hamstring) is doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Pacers, John Karalis of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.

This is unfortunate news for Boston, as Al Horford is resting Tuesday and Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) is questionable. Sam Hauser could see more run Tuesday, and he fared well Monday against the Pelicans with 11 points, one assist, one steal and three triples in 26 minutes.

Kornet (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Pelicans, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

As expected, Kornet has been downgraded from doubtful to out. His next chance to suit up will come Tuesday versus Indiana.

Kornet is doubtful for Monday's game against the Pelicans due to left hamstring tightness, Marc D'Amico of the Celtics' official site reports.

Kornet will miss at least one game after leaving Saturday's loss to the Clippers due to left hamstring tightness. His next chance to suit up will come Tuesday versus Indiana.

Kornet will not return to Saturday's game against the Clippers due to left hamstring tightness, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Kornet left Saturday's game late in the third quarter due to a left hamstring injury and will not be able to return. Kornet amassed 11 points, five rebounds and a block in 17 minutes before exiting the game. His status for Monday's game against the Pelicans is now in question.

Kornet notched two points (1-3 FG), five rebounds, one assist and one block in 19 minutes during Monday's 119-110 victory over the Mavericks.

Kornet played a meaningful role for the second straight game but was unable to repeat his performance from Sunday. With Kristaps Porzingis (knee) given the night off, Kornet slid into the backup center role behind the returning Al Horford. Despite his struggles, Kornet remains a name to watch should either Prozingis or Horford miss time moving forward.

Kornet produced six points (3-5 FG), nine rebounds, four assists, three blocks and one steal across 30 minutes during Wednesday's 117-98 win over San Antonio.

Making his second start of the season. Kornet tied his season high in rebounds while recording at least three blocks for the fourth time in 28 games. The 28-year-old center doesn't offer much else from a fantasy perspective though, and in 11 games since returning from an adductor strain he's averaging 5.7 points, 4.2 boards and 1.4 blocks in 17.4 minutes a night.

Kornet will start Wednesday's game against the Spurs.

Jaylen Brown is returning to the starting lineup, but Derrick White (ankle) and Kristaps Porzingis (knee) have been ruled out, so Kornet will start next to Al Horford in the frontcourt Wednesday. In his only other start this season, Kornet posted 20 points, eight rebounds and three blocks in 33 minutes versus the Raptors on Dec. 29.

Kornet provided 20 points (9-11 FG, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and three blocks in 33 minutes during Friday's 120-118 win over the Raptors.

Kornet thrived in a starting role, logging a season-high 33 minutes in the victory. With Kristaps Porzingis (calf) and Al Horford (rest) on the sideline, Kornet was the next man up for Boston. While this was an encouraging performance, Kornet could very well be out of the rotation when the Celtics face the Spurs on Sunday. If we get word that they are shorthanded again, Kornet would make for a viable stream candidate.

Kornet is in the starting lineup at center for Friday's game versus the Raptors, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.

With Kristaps Porzingis (calf), Al Horford (rest) and Jayson Tatum (ankle) sidelined, Kornet will get a rare opportunity for minutes in a thin Celtics frontcourt. He is averaging 4.4 points and 3.3 rebounds across 12.9 minutes in 17 games this season.

Kornet (adductor) is available for Monday's game against the Lakers, Marc D'Amico of the Celtics' official site reports.

As expected, Kornet has been upgraded from probable to available and will make his first appearance since Dec. 12. With Al Horford and Kristaps Porzingis both available, Kornet should handle a modest reserve role in Boston's frontcourt.

Kornet (adductor) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Lakers.

Kornet has missed the last six games due to a left adductor strain, but he will likely return to the lineup Monday. Konet has seen inconsistent minutes when he has been available this season and has averaged 3.6 points, 2.6 rebounds and 0.6 assists in 12.6 minutes per game over his last five appearances.

Kornet (adductor) will not play in Saturday's game against the Clippers,Jay King of The Athletic reports.

Kornet said on Dec. 15 that he would miss a week, but it looks like he's slightly behind schedule. Consider him questionable for Monday's game against the Lakers.

Kornet (thigh) said Friday that he'll miss about a week, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.

Kornet missed Thursday's win over the Cavaliers and was already ruled out for Friday's contest against the Magic. The backup big man is now slated to miss at least a handful of contests, opening up playing time for Neemias Queta, Lamar Stevens and Oshae Brissett.

Kornet (thigh) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Magic, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.

Kornet was a late scratch for Thursday's game against Cleveland, and he'll remain sidelined for the second half of the back-to-back set. His next opportunity to suit up will be in a rematch with Orlando on Sunday.

Kornet will not play in Thursday's game against the Cavaliers due to left adductor tightness, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

This wasn't reported until after tipoff, so it's possible Kornet aggravated his hip in warmups. It's unclear if he'll be able to suit up Friday against the Magic. Kornet doesn't see the floor much for Boston, as he's averaging 10.8 minutes in four December games.

Kornet supplied six points (3-5 FG), four rebounds, two assists, four blocks and one steal over 17 minutes during Monday's 122-112 loss to the Pacers.

Kornet blocked a season-high four shots during Boston's In-Season Tournament loss, giving him 10 blocks in 78 minutes over his last five appearances. Kornet has garnered a slightly increased role with Kristaps Porzingis (calf) sidelined, but the former's fantasy value remains limited in his current role.

Kornet closed with 12 points (5-6 FG, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals across 25 minutes during Friday's 113-96 loss to the Magic.

Kornet eclipsed the 20-minute plateau for the first time this season and responded by delivering his best scoring mark of the campaign. The uptick in minutes might have been related to the fact that Kristaps Porzingis departed the game in the second half and didn't return due to a left calf problem, so Kornet could experience a short-term uptick in his upside, beginning with Sunday's matchup against the Hawks.

Kornet recorded 11 points (5-5 FG, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds and one steal in 15 minutes during Saturday's 124-114 victory over Brooklyn.

Kornet saw a slight bump in usage with Derrick White (personal reasons) inactive, as the Celtics turned to a different combination of lineups. Kornet outperformed Al Horford (eight points, seven rebounds) despite Horford logging double his minutes. However, Kornet's backup center role likely won't amount to anything larger, as Horford is still the more versatile defender.

Kornet mustered 11 points (5-5 FG, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and one assist over 15 minutes in Saturday's 124-114 road win over the Nets.

Kornet took advantage of a Nets squad who chose to play small ball almost the entire game with center Nic Claxton (ankle) out. The Green Kornet can thank Jrue Holiday and others for some sweet inside passes off pick-and-rolls, which helped the reserve center shoot a perfect 5-for-5 from the field. Kornet was the only Celtic reserve with a positive (plus-7) point differential. Kornet could see big minutes, but face much better interior defense on the road Monday versus Minnesota and their twin-tower lineup.

Kornet had one rebound and one assist over 11 minutes during Monday's 126-107 win over Washington.

This game was over after Boston put up 42 points in the first quarter. That allowed coach Joe Mazzulla to play almost everyone from the Celtics' bench, including Kornet. The lanky center saw eight minutes on Opening Night, then got a DNP-Coach's Decision in Game 2. Kornet is well behind centers Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford on the Celtics' depth chart. Mazzulla also likes to experiment with small-ball lineups, which hurts Kornet's ability to see the floor. A rash of injuries must occur for Kornet to see anything more than limited playing time.

Kornet isn't in the starting lineup for Wednesday's preseason game versus the 76ers, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports.

Kornet will move to the bench with Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford back in the starting five Wednesday. Kornet is expected to compete for the backup center role this season.

Kornet is in the starting lineup for Monday's preseason contest versus the Knicks, Abby Chin of NBC Sports Boston reports.

Kornet slots into the starting five with Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford both resting. Kornet posted four points and three rebounds over 13 minutes in Sunday's preseason win over the 76ers.

Kornet finished Sunday's 120-114 win over the Hawks with 12 points (5-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, six assists and one steal in 33 minutes.

Kornet played a season-high minute total off the bench in Sunday's win, finishing three rebounds and four assists short of a triple double while setting a season-high assist mark. Kornet has surpassed the double-digit scoring total eight times this season.

Kornet chipped in four points (2-5 FG, 0-2 FT), eight rebounds and two blocks in 19 minutes during Monday's 118-114 overtime loss to Cleveland.

The journeyman center tied his season high in rebounds while seeing double-digit minutes for only the fourth time in 11 games since the beginning of February, a stretch in which he also got four DNPs. Kornet's lack of a consistent role off the Boston bench makes him tough to roster in any fantasy format, but with Robert Williams (hamstring) and Al Horford (back) both banged up at the moment, he could have some appeal as a bargain DFS option in the right matchup.

Kornet (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the 76ers, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Kornet could see extra time Wednesday, as Al Horford (knee) and Robert Williams (ankle) are both questionable. Since the calendar flipped to 2023, Kornet has averaged 3.9 points and 2.2 rebounds across 10.4 minutes.

Kornet (ankle) is being listed as probable for Wednesday's matchup with the 76ers, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

Kornet skipped Monday's win over the Pistons due to the ankle issue, but he appears to be on track to return to the floor for Wednesday's game. However, he typically only logs minutes in the teens, which isn't enough floor time for him to produce a meaningful stat line in fantasy hoops.

Kornet (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against the Pistons

Kornet will miss at least one contest due to the left ankle sprain he suffered in Friday's matchup with the Suns. In his absence, Sam Hauser and Blake Griffin will be candidates for increased playing time, though Grant Williams figures to be the primary backup to both Robert Williams and Al Horford during Monday's contest.

Kornet (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game at Detroit.

Kornet suffered the ankle sprain during Friday's matchup with the Suns, and his availability for Monday remains up in the air. The 27-year-old has averaged 12.0 minutes over the past five games and will likely see similarly playing time if cleared to take the court against the Pistons.

Kornet did not return to Friday's game against the Suns due to his left ankle sprain.

The Celtics have not provided an update yet, but the good news is that the next game isn't until Monday. If Kornet misses that one, we could see the Celtics use smaller lineups with Grant Williams benefitting.

The Celtics announced that Luke Kornet is questionable to return Friday against the Suns with a left ankle sprain.

Kornet's night was likely done anyways considering this was announced in the fourth quarter. If Kornet's ankle injury lingers beyond Friday, the Celtics will likely turn to Grant Williams in smaller lineups.

Kornet provided 12 points (5-6 FG, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 19 minutes during Wednesday's 139-96 win over the Nets.

Kornet reached double digits in points for the sixth time this season, as he was able to take advantage of some garbage time with Boston running away with this one early. Robert Williams was back from his ankle injury Wednesday night and only needed to play 19 minutes, so it's safe to say this game will be an outlier for Kornet.

Kornet racked up 11 points (5-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt), five rebounds and one assist over 17 minutes during Thursday's 109-98 victory over the Nets.

Kornet played 17 minutes for a second consecutive game Thursday, and he scored in double figures for just the fifth time this season. The 27-year-old has been an inconsistent contributor this year but has seen an uptick in playing time over the last two matchups since Robert Williams missed Wednesday's game against the Pelicans due to a knee injury before Al Horford was sidelined Thursday for rest purposes.

Kornet had nine points (4-4 FG, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds and one block over 18 minutes during Monday's 140-105 victory over the Hornets.

Kornet was one of a number of fringe players who saw an increase in playing time Monday, slotting in as the game descended into garbage time. While Kornet does have a somewhat intriguing fantasy game, his role is typically reliant on the production of others, as well as the nature of the game itself. Outside of some periodic streaming appeal, he can safely be left on the wire in most formats.

Kornet ended with eight points (4-8 FG), seven rebounds, one assist and one block across 13 minutes during Friday's 131-112 victory over Denver.

Kornet put together an efficient night from the field and also set a new season best with seven boards. The big man has logged 18 and 13 minutes respectively in his last two contests since returning to the team, and while he certainly hasn't been dominant in any one category, he could add rebounding value for fantasy managers in deeper leagues.

Kornet (personal) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Pistons, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

Kornet wasn't on the injury report revealed Tuesday, which suggested he would be part of the mix. Head coach Joe Mazzulla confirmed that to be the case Wednesday, so look for the big man to see some minutes in a frontcourt depth role.

Kornet (personal) is not listed on Boston's injury report ahead of Wednesday's matchup against Detroit.

Kornet was sidelined for back-to-back games due to personal reasons, but it appears he'll return to action Wednesday. Across six appearances, the reserve big man has posted 2.3 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 12.2 minutes per game.

Kornet (personal) won't play Monday in Memphis.

He'll miss his second straight game while tending to a personal matter. The 7-foot-2 big man had been a fringe member of the Boston rotation prior to leaving the team, averaging 12.2 minutes per game over his last six contests.

Kornet is out Saturday at New York due to personal reasons, Abby Chin of NBC Sports Boston reports.

This information came after the game had already started. It's unclear how long he'll be sidelined.

Kornet finished Friday's 132-123 overtime loss to Cleveland with four points (2-3 FG), five rebounds and three assists across 26 minutes.

With Grant Williams (suspension) unavailable, it was Kornet who got the bulk of those minutes off the bench. It was the first time he logged over 25 minutes in a game since May 2021. With Williams returning, expect to see the sixth-year center revert back to his normal minutes next game.

Kornet (ankle) is available for Friday's preseason finale against the Raptors, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Kornet figures to be a part of the Celtics' rotation until Robert Williams (knee) returns, which will be mid-November at the absolute earliest. Friday's finale will mark Kornet's first taste of preseason action.

Kornet (ankle) was a full participant during Monday's practice.

Kornet suffered an ankle injury at the beginning of training camp and has yet to play in the preseason. However, he returned to non-contact practice Sunday and was full go Monday, so it appears like he'll have strong chance of playing in Boston's preseason finale against the Raptors on Friday.

Kornet (ankle) participated in non-contract drills during Sunday's practice.

Kornet has yet to play in the preseason due to an ankle injury he picked up during practice at the beginning of training camp. The Celtics have one remaining exhibition contest before opening the regular season against the 76ers on Oct. 18.

Kornet (ankle) will not play in Wednesday's matchup against the Raptors.

Kornet, despite missing Wednesday's tilt, was upgraded to day-to-day and will have another opportunity to make his 2022-23 debut on Friday against the Hornets.

Kornet suffered an ankle sprain in practice this week and will miss one-to-two weeks, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.

This coincides with the news that Boston has signed Blake Griffin, meaning the two players will likely be competing as frontcourt depth once Kornet returns from injury. The center has played with the Celtics in both 2020 and 2021, so he should be a reliable backup while Robert Williams is still out with a knee injury.

Kornet and the Celtics agreed to terms Friday on a two-year contract, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reports.

Kornet spent most of his time with the Celtics' G League affiliate during the 2021-22 season, but he'll have an opportunity to earn an increased role with Boston after agreeing to a two-year contract Friday. In 15 games with a combination of the Bucks, Cavaliers and Celtics last season, the seven-footer averaged 2.0 points and 1.9 rebounds in 6.9 minutes per contest.

Kornet contributed 10 points (5-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt), five rebounds and two assists in 13 minutes during Sunday's 139-110 victory over the Grizzlies.

Celtics head coach Ime Udoka went to the bench early in this one, as Boston held a commanding lead and wanted to keep its regulars fresh for the postseason. Kornet took advantage of the increased opportunity by scoring a season-high 10 points and grabbing at least five rebounds for the third time this season.

The Celtics are planning to sign Kornet to a rest-of-season contract, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

After Thursday's trades, the Celtics were left with five open roster spots, and Kornet will help give Boston some more depth in the frontcourt. He has some familiarity with the franchise, as he played 18 games with Boston last season and has been seeing G League minutes for the Maine Celtics this year. Kornet will presumably continue seeing most of his action in the G League.

Kornet (not injury related) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Warriors.

Kornet joined the Bucks on a 10-day hardship contract in early January and is no longer with the team, signaling that his time in Milwaukee may be coming to an end. Assuming he doesn't earn another 10-day contract, it wouldn't be surprising to see the 26-year-old return to the G League at some point.

Kornet signed a 10-day hardship contract with the Bucks on Sunday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Kornet recently finished a 10-day contract with the Cavaliers, but he appeared in just two contests and played 15 total minutes. In Milwaukee, he will likely act as a depth option at center behind Bobby Portis and DeMarcus Cousins.

Kornet signed a 10-day hardship exemption with the Cleveland Cavaliers, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

After beginning the year with the Maine Celtics, Kornet is signing a 10-day hardship exemption with the Cavaliers. The deal means that Cleveland can temporarily exceed its 15-man roster limit while they deal with their numerous players currently place in the health and safety protocols. Kornet has failed to impress during his few stints in the league with the Knicks, Bulls and Celtics. The stretch forward has only averaged 5.8 points and 2.6 rebounds across his 133 career appearances and is not someone to actively target in fantasy leagues.

Kornet agreed Wednesday to an Exhibit 10 contract with the Celtics, Chris Grenham of Forbes Sports reports.

Kornet spent the latter portion of last season with the Celtics, where he made 18 appearances and averaged 4.4 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.4 blocks and 1.1 assists in 14.1 minutes. If he doesn't make the Celtics' final roster, he could end up in the G League with the Maine Red Claws.

Kornet ended with four points (2-7 FG, 0-5 3Pt), three rebounds and three blocks in 26 minutes during Sunday's 96-92 loss to New York.

Kornet was unable to repeat his performance from Saturday, although, he has now accumulated 10 blocks across his last three games. The Celtics will now face the Wizards in the play-in tournament and given there is no certainty Robert Williams (toe) is available to play, Kornet could actually find himself in the rotation down the stretch.

Kornet will start Saturday's contest against the Timberwolves, Keith Smith of Yahoo Sports reports.

With Robert Williams (toe) and Tristan Thompson (chest) done for the regular season, Kornet should see increased minutes over the next two games. In seven games this season that Kornet has played at least 15 minutes, he's averaged 4.7 points, 4.1 rebounds, 2.1 blocks and 1.7 assists.

Kornet collected 10 points (5-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt), seven rebounds, four assists and three blocks in 20 minutes during Tuesday's 119-115 loss to the Thunder.

Tristan Thompson got in foul trouble Tuesday, so coach Brad Stevens opted to deploy Kornet for extended minutes. The center played well, reaching season highs in rebounds and assists. While it was a great effort from Kornet, Robert Williams is set to return Wednesday, which could result in Kornet being used only in spot situations.

Kornet (recently traded) will be in uniform but is not expected to play Friday against the Bucks, Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe reports.

Even once Kornet is deemed ready to see game action with his new team, it's not clear if he'll be a regular part of the rotation. Between Robert Williams, Tristan Thompson and possibly Mortiz Wagner, the center spot has plenty of minutes occupied already.

The Celtics acquired Kornet and Moritz Wagner on Thursday in a three-team trade involving the Wizards and Bulls, Mark Murphy of the Boston Herald reports. Washington will receive Daniel Gafford and Chandler Hutchison in the deal, while Chicago receives Daniel Theis, Troy Brown and Javonte Green.

Kornet will likely find himself behind Tristan Thompson (COVID-19 health and safety protocols), Robert Williams and Wagner on the depth chart at center, so the move to Boston probably won't open up much playing time for the Vanderbilt product. He struggled to get off the bench in Chicago when the Bulls were at full strength, appearing in only 13 of the team's 43 games while averaging 7.2 minutes.

Kornet (personal) isn't on the injury report for Thursday's game against the 76ers.

Kornet missed the Bulls' final game before the All-Star break due to personal reasons, but he'll be back in action against Philadelphia on Thursday. The 25-year-old has averaged 3.0 points and 1.9 rebounds over 9.4 minutes per game across his past eight appearances.

Kornet won't play Wednesday against the Pelicans due to personal reasons.

Kornet has seen an uptick in playing time lately, and across his past eight appearances, he's averaged 3.0 points and 1.9 rebounds in 9.4 minutes. However, he'll sit out for the Bulls' final game before the break. That could create more minutes for Daniel Gafford.

Kornet finished with 11 points (4-5 FG, 3-4 3Pt), five rebounds and three blocks across 12 minutes off the bench Friday in the Bulls' 106-97 loss to the Suns.

Kornet drilled all three of his three-pointers in a two-minute stretch in the third quarter, with his outburst giving the Bulls a lead heading into the final period. Chicago was unable to prevail, but Kornet's hot shooting should be enough for him to maintain a spot in the rotation ahead of Daniel Gafford through the All-Star break. Kornet will likely be one of the first players to lose minutes when one of Lauri Markkanen (shoulder) and Otto Porter (back) returns to action, however.

Kornet didn't play in the Bulls' 120-100 win over Houston on Monday.

This was the second straight contest in which Kornet was kept on the bench, as the center has been a non-factor so far throughout his fourth season in the league. Kornet is currently averaging just 1.3 points and 1.4 rebounds across 6.9 minutes in seven appearances.

Kornet tallied seven points (3-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt) and three rebounds across 15 minutes in Friday's 125-106 loss to the Clippers.

It marked nearly 12 months since the last time Kornet played 10 minutes in a game. Though the COVID-19 pandemic plays a part, he has not been considered an integral component for the Bulls to begin with. They have started either Wendell Carter or Daniel Gafford at center, with taller forwards like Lauri Markkanen and Thaddeus Young also taking up many minutes.

Kornet (not injury related) is out Sunday against the Mavericks.

It's not clear why Kornet is away from the team or how long he'll be gone. He's appeared in just one game this season and isn't projected to have a significant role, so his absence isn't shaking things up in the rotation.

Kornet is not with the team and will miss Friday's game against the Thunder.

Kornet (ankle) is expected to remain out for the next 6-to-8 weeks.

The Bulls got more bad news on the injury front Thursday, as further tests revealed that Kornet's sprained left ankle is apparently more severe than initially expected. The six-to-eight-week timetable effectively ends Kornet's season as the Bulls head toward another likely slot in the lottery. Amid injuries to Wendell Carter, Lauri Markkanen and Daniel Gafford, Kornet had been starting in the frontcourt prior to the injury. In 14 consecutive starts from Jan. 17 through Feb. 20. Kornet posted 10.1 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.4 made threes in 22.4 minutes.

Kornet (ankle) will not play Tuesday against the Thunder.

Kornet will miss at least one more game as he continues to deal with a sprained left ankle. The big man was spotted in a walking boot on Saturday, which isn't the most encouraging sign. However, the Bulls have three off days following Tuesday's game, so there's a chance Kornet could make some progress and get back on the floor as early as Saturday in New York.

Kornet (ankle) is utilizing crutches and wearing a protective walking boot Saturday, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

The 24-year-old was already ruled out for Saturday's contest with the Suns due to the ankle sprain, but sporting the boot essentially guarantees he'll also remain sidelined Sunday against the Wizards. Kornet has yet to be provided an official timetable for his return, though he initially received a doubtful designation for the matchup with Phoenix.

Kornet (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's tilt with Phoenix, Tony Gill of NBC Sports reports.

As expected, Kornet will miss his first game after spraining his ankle during Friday's practice. Daniel Gafford will receive the start at center in Kornet's stead.

Kornet (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against Phoenix.

Kornet sprained his ankle at practice Friday and is expected to miss at least one game, which leaves the Bulls even more shorthanded up front, as Wendell Carter (ankle) is also unlikely to suit up. Expect Daniel Gafford and Cristiano Felicio to handle most of the center minutes if neither of the aforementioned big men play.

Kornet sprained his ankle during Friday's practice and is without a timetable for a return, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

The seriousness of Kornet's injury hasn't been determined, so it's unclear when he'll return. In his absence, Cristiano Felicio and Daniel Gafford could see extra run.

Kornet compiled 25 points (10-14 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and one block in 29 minutes during Sunday's 118-111 loss to the 76ers.

Kornet finished with a career high scoring total while missing just four of his 14 field-goal attempts, though he contributed minimally beyond the scoring and three-point shooting columns. Moreover, Kornet fouled out trying to deal with Joel Embiid. Wendell Carter (ankle) and Lauri Markkanen (pelvis) are both expected to return to the rotation sometime after the All-Star break, but until then Kornet could maintain decent value in deeper leagues.

Kornet (ankle) is starting Friday against Brooklyn, Chuck Swirsky of the Bulls Radio Network reports.

As expected, Kornet will be ready to take the court Friday despite nursing a right ankle injury. He's averaging 9.1 points and 3.3 rebounds over his last eight starts.

Kornet (ankle) is probable for Friday's game against the Nets.

Kornet carried the same designation into Wednesday's game against the Pacers and wound up playing 20 minutes, finishing with six points, four rebounds and one block. Assuming he's cleared to play Friday, Kornet should remain in the starting lineup with Wendell Carter (ankle) and Daniel Gafford (thumb) both sidelined with injuries.

Kornet (ankle) is starting Wednesday against the Pacers.

Kornet sprained his ankle during Monday's win over the Spurs but will play through the issue Wednesday. With Wendell Carter (ankle) and Daniel Gafford (thumb) both sidelined, Kornet will stick in the starting lineup for an eighth straight game. Over the past seven games (all starts), Kornet is averaging 9.6 points, 3.1 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 22.4 minutes.

Kornet is probable for Wednesday's game against the Pacers due to a sprained right ankle.

Kornet has emerged from Monday's win against the Spurs with a sprained ankle, but he should be fine for Wednesday. Across his past seven games (all starts), he's averaged 9.6 points, 3.1 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 22.4 minutes.

Kornet produced 15 points (6-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, two assists, a steal and a blocked shot across 18 minutes in Wednesday's 117-110 win over the Timberwolves.

Kornet looked extremely comfortable under the basket in his fourth game as a starter. The 7-1 center found himself on the receiving end of a couple of alley-oops courtesy of Tomas Satoransky, and also converted some impressive put-backs. With both Wendell Carter and Daniel Gafford sidelined, the Bulls will need Kornet to hold up the frontcourt alongside Lauri Markkanen.

Kornet had 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-5 3PT), four assists, three rebounds and one block in 22 minutes during Saturday's 118-116 win over the Cavaliers.

Kornet has started in each of Chicago's last two games, and he has registered double-digit scoring figures in four of his last five contests. That said, his playing time remains heavily inconsistent and his bigger role of late might only be due to the fact the Bulls are depleted with injuries on their frontcourt. As such, he might remain serviceable but would fit better as a streamer in most formats.

Kornet collected 13 points (4-10 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 3-5 FT), three rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 28 minutes during Friday's 100-89 loss to the 76ers.

Kornet was listed as probable due to a sprained right thumb, this after carrying the same designation heading into Wednesday's bout versus the Wizards. With Wendell Carter (ankle) and Daniel Gafford (thumb) both sidelined for at least the next few weeks, Kornet seems likely to continue holding down the fort as the starting center and could be an intriguing cheap option in daily leagues for Saturday's matchup versus the Cavaliers.

Kornet (thumb) has been cleared to play Friday against the 76ers.

Kornet carried a similar tag into Wednesday's game and wound up playing 35 minutes, finishing with 10 points, four rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal. Kornet should see the majority of minutes at center for the Bulls with Wendell Carter (ankle) and Daniel Gafford (thumb) both sidelined.

Assuming he's cleared to play, Kornet should see the majority of minutes at center for the Bulls with Wendell Carter (ankle) and Daniel Gafford (thumb) both sidelined.

Kornet is probable for Wednesday's game against Washington due to a right thumb sprain.

Kornet has played big minutes over the last two contests (25 and 22 minutes), but he appears to be dinged up following Monday night's matchup against Boston. Despite this, it doesn't seem as though he'll miss any time as a result of the injury, considering he's been tagged as probable.
