Celtics injury report: Rotation wing upgraded for Bucks game

Danilo Gallinari set to return to action

The Boston Celtics will have a key rotation wing available when they host the Milwaukee Bucks on Friday night. Danilo Gallinari, who has missed the last eight games with a left adductor strain, has been upgraded to questionable for the contest.

Gallinari's return is a boost for the Celtics

Gallinari's return is a significant boost for the Celtics, who have been without several key players in recent weeks. The veteran forward is averaging 6.1 points and 3.4 rebounds per game this season and provides Boston with a much-needed scoring threat off the bench.

With Gallinari back in the mix, the Celtics will have a more well-rounded rotation and can better weather the absence of Malcolm Brogdon (personal) and Robert Williams (knee).

Gallinari could play limited minutes against the Bucks

While Gallinari is likely to play on Friday, it is unclear how many minutes he will be able to play. The Celtics will likely limit his minutes to avoid aggravating his injury.

The Celtics and Bucks are currently tied for the best record in the Eastern Conference at 24-10. Friday's game is a rematch of last year's Eastern Conference semifinals, which the Celtics won in seven games.
