Hornets' Xavier Tillman: Cleared to play Monday
Tillman (recently traded) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Pistons.
Tillman is on track to make his debut with the Hornets after being acquired from the Celtics on Thursday. Tillman is unlikely to see many minutes with his new team, given that he appeared in just three games for Boston since Christmas Day.

Hornets' Xavier Tillman: Not available Saturday
Tillman (recently traded) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Hawks.

Hornets' Xavier Tillman: Off injury report for Saturday
Tillman (recently traded) is off the injury report for Saturday's game against the Hawks.
Tillman is set to be available off the bench for his Hornets debut Saturday, However, he appears to be facing an uphill climb for playing time after playing an inconsistent role for the Celtics earlier this year.

Hornets' Xavier Tillman: Traded to Charlotte
Tillman was traded from Boston to Charlotte on Thursday in exchange for cash considerations, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
This was a move designed for Boston to get out of the luxury tax. It remains to be seen if Tillman will be able to carve out a role in Charlotte, but there is a ton of competition for minutes there. Tillman is questionable to debut Saturday against the Hawks.

Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Back in rotation Saturday
Tillman provided zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one rebound in five minutes during Saturday's 132-106 win over the Hawks.
Tillman played his first game in almost six weeks, albeit for just five minutes during garbage time. While Neemias Queta has been able to take significant steps forward in his development this season, Tillman has been relegated to a depth role, having suited up on just 12 occasions.

Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Headed to bench
Tillman will come off the bench for Tuesday's game against the Knicks, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.
Neemias Queta is back and starting, so Tillman will return to a reserve role after getting a spot start during Sunday's win in Cleveland. Tillman has not been a consistent part of the rotation this season, so it wouldn't be shocking to see him pick up a DNP-CD with Queta active.

Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Season-high three steals in start
Tillman posted nine points (4-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt), six rebounds, one block and three steals over 30 minutes during Sunday's 117-115 win over the Cavaliers.
In his first appearance since the Nov. 18 win over the Nets, Tillman filled in for the injured Neemias Queta (ankle) with a serviceable effort in the starting lineup. Tillman hadn't even reached the 20-minute threshold in any of his first eight games of the year, so it's hard to imagine he'll hang onto much fantasy relevance once Queta is healthy. The three steals were a season high for Tillman on Sunday, though.

Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Back in rotation Tuesday
Tillman ended with one assist in five minutes during Tuesday's 113-99 win over the Nets.
Tillman was back in the rotation, albeit in a very limited role. Although the frontcourt depth in Boston is far from glamorous, Tillman has been unable to carve out a consistent spot in the lineup. Through eight appearances, he has averaged just 2.5 points and 2.1 rebounds in 8.2 minutes per game.

Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Off injury report for Sunday
Tillman (personal) is off the Celtics' injury report for Sunday's game against the Magic.
Tillman missed Friday's loss to the Magic due to personal reasons, though he'll return to action Sunday. Over seven regular-season appearances thus far, the 26-year-old has averaged 2.9 points and 2.4 rebounds in 8.7 minutes per contest.

Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Out for personal reasons
Tillman (personal) is out for Friday's game at the Magic, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Tillman has appeared in seven of Boston's nine games to open the season for an average of 8.7 minutes per contest, so his absence won't carry many fantasy implications.

Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Muted role continues
Tillman provided zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in six minutes during Monday's 105-103 loss to Utah.
Tillman played fewer than 10 minutes for the fifth time in the past six games, continuing his slow start to the season. At this stage, it appears as though both Neemias Queta and Luka Garza are ahead of him in the rotation, while Chris Boucher is also spending some time at the five. Barring injuries to multiple players, Tillman is likely to serve as nothing more than a depth piece, at least for the foreseeable future.

Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Plays 16 minutes in opener
Tillman closed Wednesday's 117-116 loss to the 76ers with four points (2-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals in 16 minutes.
Tillman's 16 minutes of run could be used as Exhibit A to demonstrate the talent difference between last year's top-notch Celtics squad and this year's team. Tillman averaged only seven minutes per contest last season, though he was battling knee issues. Neemias Queta started at center for Boston, but was quickly pulled by Coach Mazzulla after Queta allowed Philly to grab an offensive rebound. Tillman then provided some much-needed rebounding, but struggled offensively. Expect Boston to experiment with different frontcourt lineups throughout the season.

Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Fully healthy of preseason
Tillman (knee) enters training camp fully healthy and ready to play.
Tillman dealt with left knee issues throughout the 2024-25 campaign, resulting in playing in only 33 regular-season games. If he's able to stay healthy this season, there's a chance he could be in line for more minutes off the bench, sharing time with Sam Hauser, Chris Boucher, Luka Garza and Neemias Queta in the frontcourt.

Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Plays eight minutes in loss
Tillman closed Friday's 119-81 loss to the Knicks in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals with two points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and three rebounds in eight minutes.
Tillman made his first appearance of the postseason Friday with the Celtics getting run out of the building. Playing in his second season with Boston, Tillman was used very sparingly, as he appeared in 33 regular-season contests and averaged 1.0 points and 1.3 rebounds in 7.0 minutes. Tillman is owed $2.5 million in 2025-26 for the final year of his deal.
