Robinson (thumb) returned to Monday's game against the Rockets with 5:47 remaining in the second quarter, per the broadcast.

Robinson headed back to the locker room in the first quarter with a left thumb sprain. He returned to the bench shortly thereafter and appears to be good to go for the remainder of the contest.

Poeltl (shoulder) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Clippers, Zulfi Sheikh reports.

Poeltl will now miss his second consecutive contest due to left shoulder bursitis. Collin Murray-Boyles and Trayce Jackson-Davis both stand to see increased playing time, with the latter the top candidate to earn a second straight start.

Robinson (thumb) is probable to return to Monday's game against the Rockets, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Robinson exited Monday's contest in the first quarter with a left thumb sprain. However, the big man is expected to check back in.

Barnes (hip) will play Monday night against the Clippers, Zulfi Sheikh of Sportsnet reports.

Barnes was initially added to the injury report as questionable with left hip soreness leading up to Monday's game. He was later upgraded to probable shortly before tipoff and has since been cleared to take the court. Barnes will aim to continue his strong start to the 2026-27 campaign after averaging 24.8 points, 6.7 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 2.2 steals through his first six matchups.

Poeltl (shoulder) is doubtful to play in Monday's game against the Clippers.

Poeltl was questionable to suit up after missing Sunday's 131-125 loss to the Lakers, but he's been downgraded to doubtful prior to tipoff. If he remains out for the second straight contest, Collin Murray-Boyles and Trayce Jackson-Davis would earn more opportunities.

Barnes (hip) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Clippers.

Barnes was initially added to the injury report as questionable due to left hip soreness, so the fact that he's since been upgraded to probable is a clear sign he's trending in the right direction. Expect confirmation on his availability closer to Monday's tipoff.

Robinson (undisclosed) exited to the locker room in the first quarter of Monday's game against the Rockets, Gary Washburn of The Boston Globe reports.

It's unclear exactly why Robinson headed back to the locker room, though he can be considered questionable to return until more information comes to light. If he's unable to return, Luka Garza would likely see increased burn.

Williams (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Suns.

Williams will be held out of the second leg of this back-to-back set due to a left quad contusion. His next chance to play will come Thursday against Miami. Will Richard and De'Anthony Melton could see a bump in minutes in Williams' stead.

Head coach JJ Redick said Monday that Thiero (knee) has participated in live action, and the hope is that he'll be available by the end of the week, Khobi Price of The California Post reports.

Thiero has yet to make his season debut while recovering from a left knee injury, though he's trending in the right direction. However, the second-year forward isn't expected to play a meaningful role once healthy.

Robinson (rest) won't start Monday's game against the Rockets, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.

After sitting out Sunday's 108-97 win over Orlando to rest, Robinson will play and come off the bench for the first time in 2026-27. Neemias Queta will get a second consecutive start, while Luka Garza will likely see his minutes reduced substantially.
