Celtics list five injured players for Heat game

The Boston Celtics will likely be without several key players for their game against the Miami Heat. Five rotation players are listed on the injury report, including Al Horford, who is probable, and Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, Kristaps Porzingis, and Derrick White, who are questionable. Porzingis has missed the last seven games due to illness, and his return date is uncertain. The Celtics plan to rest some players as they prepare for the playoffs, especially with an easier schedule ahead. Currently, the Celtics hold a 47-19 record, placing them second in the Eastern Conference. They are 8.5 games behind the first-place Cavaliers and 4.5 games ahead of the third-place Knicks.
