Celtics' Payton Pritchard: Not listed on report for Sunday
Pritchard (foot) isn't listed on the injury report for Sunday's Game 1 against the 76ers.
Pritchard was held out of Boston's regular-season finale due to left foot plantar fasciitis, though he's set to return to action Sunday. The 28-year-old guard averaged 17.2 points, 5.3 assists and 2.8 rebounds across 30.3 minutes per tilt off the bench over his final six regular-season appearances.

Celtics' Payton Pritchard: Sidelined Sunday
Pritchard (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Orlando, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Pritchard drew the doubtful tag for Sunday's regular-season finale due to left foot plantar fasciitis, and he'll indeed be sidelined as the Celtics prepare for their playoff run. The sixth-year guard started in a career-high 50 regular-season games, but he returned to a bench role in early February after Anfernee Simons (wrist) was traded to the Bulls in exchange for Nikola Vucevic (finger). Pritchard was still effective in his sixth-man role, and across 31 outings (two starts) since Feb. 3, he averaged 17.5 points, 5.0 assists, 3.4 rebounds and 2.9 threes over 32.0 minutes per game while connecting on 41.7 percent of his field-goal attempts from beyond the arc. Dalano Banton, Max Shulga and Baylor Scheierman will all handle more responsibilities against Orlando in Pritchard's absence.

Celtics' Payton Pritchard: Unlikely to play Sunday
Pritchard is listed as doubtful for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Magic due to left foot plantar fasciitis, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
The Celtics locked their spot as the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference after their blowout win against the Pelicans on Friday. With nothing to play for Sunday, Boston will rest its entire starting lineup, and it looks like Pritchard will also not play against Orlando. If that's indeed the case, Pritchard will end the 2025-26 regular season averaging career highs in points (17.0), assists (5.2), rebounds (3.9) and minutes (32.4). Max Shulga, Dalano Banton, Baylor Scheierman, Hugo Gonzalez and other deep rotational players for the Celtics should all see extended action Sunday.

Celtics' Payton Pritchard: Double-doubles in rout
Pritchard ended Friday's 144-118 victory over the Pelicans with 21 points (7-14 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, 10 assists and one steal in 30 minutes.
Pritchard posted his fifth double-double of the season Friday, taking advantage of some extra usage left behind by the absence of Jayson Tatum (Achilles). Over his last seven contests, Pritchard has averaged 17.0 points, 4.6 assists, 2.7 rebounds and 3.3 three-pointers in 29.7 minutes per game while shooting 50.0 percent from deep.

Celtics' Payton Pritchard: Provides spark in loss
Pritchard posted 23 points (10-20 FG, 3-8 3Pt), six assists and three rebounds across 36 minutes in Thursday's 112-106 loss to the Knicks.
With Jaylen Brown (Achilles) out, Pritchard was far more aggressive on the offensive end Thursday. The 28-year-old guard led Boston's second unit in points and was the team's second-leading scorer behind Jayson Tatum (24), who struggled with efficiency. Pritchard also finished second on the club in assists and three-pointers made.

Celtics' Payton Pritchard: Serviceable effort Tuesday
Pritchard racked up 12 points (4-8 FG, 4-7 3Pt), four rebounds and three assists in 30 minutes during Tuesday's 113-102 win over the Hornets.
Pritchard scored double digits for the 12th straight game, albeit only just. With Boston now mostly healthy, Pritchard has reverted to a bench role, although his playing time still reflects that of a starter. While he hasn't necessarily taken any major steps forward this season, Pritchard has become a reliable producer, averaging 16.9 points, 5.1 assists and 2.6 three-pointers through 77 games.

Celtics' Payton Pritchard: Won't start Monday
Pritchard won't start Monday's game against the Hawks, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.
With Derrick White (knee) back in the lineup, Pritchard will retreat to the second unit. The 28-year-old guard has averaged 19.6 points, 3.6 assists and 3.2 rebounds across 31.6 minutes per game over his last five outings off the bench.

Celtics' Payton Pritchard: Scores 28 points with full line
Pritchard amassed 28 points (10-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, six assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Sunday's 114-99 win over the Hornets.
Pritchard has played very well filling in for Jaylen Brown (Achilles) over the past two games, scoring a total of 64 points on 23-for-41 shooting to go with eight triples and 10 assists. If Derrick White (knee) and Brown are forced to spend another game on the inactive list Monday, Pritchard will make for an attractive target in daily fantasy leagues.

Celtics' Payton Pritchard: Starting sans White
Pritchard will start Sunday's game against the Hornets, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
With Derrick White (knee) out, Pritchard will enter the first unit Sunday. As a starter this season (49 games), he has averaged 16.7 points, 5.2 assists and 4.3 rebounds in 32.8 minutes per contest.

Celtics' Payton Pritchard: Drops 36 points in win
Pritchard posted 36 points (13-23 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds and four assists across 35 minutes in Friday's 109-102 win over the Hawks.
With Jaylen Brown (Achilles) sidelined, Pritchard saw increased usage and erupted for a game-high 36 points. The 28-year-old guard has been somewhat inconsistent as a scorer in March, though he has now scored in double figures in six straight games. Friday's contest marked the first time he has reached the 20-point threshold since March 2 and his first time dropping at least 30 since Feb. 22. He also knocked down at least six triples for the sixth time this season while leading the second unit in assists and rebounds.

Celtics' Payton Pritchard: Scores 10 points in loss
Pritchard recorded 10 points (4-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt), one rebound, three assists and one steal over 27 minutes during Sunday's 102-92 loss to the Timberwolves.
Pritchard continues to play a massive role for the Celtics. Over his last six games, he's averaging 14.2 points, 4.5 assists, 3.2 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 2.5 three-pointers on 38.3 percent shooting from the field across 32.6 minutes per contest.

Celtics' Payton Pritchard: Drains five triples off bench
Pritchard ended Monday's 120-112 win over the Suns with 19 points (6-13 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six assists, four rebounds and one steal over 37 minutes.
Pritchard once again gave the Celtics a much-needed boost off the bench, finishing as the team's fourth-leading scorer while co-leading in assists with Jaylen Brown and Neemias Queta. Pritchard entered Monday's game having connected on just 18.8 percent of his three-point attempts (on 6.4 3PA/G) over his last five outings, so seeing his success from beyond the arc against Phoenix was a promising sign.

Celtics' Payton Pritchard: Sliding to second unit Saturday
Pritchard won't start Saturday's game against the Wizards, Bobby Krivitsky of Forbes.com reports.
With Derrick White (knee) back in the lineup, Pritchard will retreat to the second unit Saturday. Over 10 appearances off the bench since the All-Star break, the 28-year-old guard has averaged 15.0 points, 5.5 assists and 3.8 rebounds across 31.5 minutes per contest.

Celtics' Payton Pritchard: Starting Thursday
Pritchard is in the starting lineup for Thursday's matchup with the Thunder.
Pritchard is getting the start due to Derrick White (knee) being unavailable, and it'll be Jaylen Brown, Baylor Scheierman, Sam Hauser and Neemias Queta joining Pritchard in the first unit for Thursday's game. As a starter this season, he owns averages of 16.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 2.5 three-pointers per game.

Celtics' Payton Pritchard: Upgraded to available
Pritchard (neck) is available for Thursday's game against the Thunder.
After sitting out Tuesday's loss to the Spurs due to neck spasms, Pritchard is ready to return Thursday. Over his last six games, the sharpshooter has averaged 13.8 points, 5.3 assists and 3.2 rebounds in 30.4 minutes per contest. Pritchard's return likely means less playing time for Ron Harper off the bench.

Celtics' Payton Pritchard: Probable for Thursday
Pritchard is probable for Thursday's game against the Thunder due to a neck spasm, Zack Cox of the Boston Herald reports.
After missing Tuesday's loss to the Spurs, Pritchard is now expected to return to the floor Thursday. The sharpshooter has averaged 13.8 points, 5.3 assists and 3.2 rebounds in 30.4 minutes per contest in his last six games.

Celtics' Payton Pritchard: Won't play Tuesday
Pritchard is out for Tuesday's game against the Spurs due to a neck spasm.
The sharpshooter is out for only the second time all year Tuesday, and he'll look to heal up in time for Thursday's showdown with the defending-champion Thunder. With Pritchard sidelined, extra field-goal opportunities should head in the direction of Baylor Scheierman and Sam Hauser on the wing.

Celtics' Payton Pritchard: Iffy for Tuesday
Pritchard (neck) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Spurs, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
Pritchard is in jeopardy of missing just his second game of the season and his first since Jan. 17 due to neck spasms. If the 28-year-old guard is unable to suit up, Baylor Scheierman and Hugo Gonzalez would be candidates for increased playing time off the bench, while Ron Harper could enter the rotation.

Celtics' Payton Pritchard: Efficient performance off bench
Pritchard had 18 points (8-17 FG, 2-8 3Pt), seven rebounds, six assists and two blocks over 34 minutes during Friday's 120-100 win over the Mavericks.
Pritchard bounced back from a scoreless outing Wednesday, providing a balanced line and leading the Celtics' second unit in scoring. While his three-point shooting was slightly off, he found success inside the arc and contributed significantly on the glass and as a playmaker. Despite the return of Jayson Tatum (Achilles) to the starting lineup, Pritchard still logged 34 minutes, suggesting his role as the primary spark plug off the bench remains secure even with the team's superstar back in the mix.

Celtics' Payton Pritchard: Drops donut in heavy loss
Pritchard racked up zero points (0-6 FG, 0-5 3Pt) and two rebounds in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 118-89 loss to the Hornets.
Pritchard went scoreless for the second time in the past three games, continuing what has been a weird stretch. It's been night and day over his past six games, as he's scored no more than eight points in four appearances while dropping 22 and 25 points in the other two contests. He remains a clear hold, although managers would love to see him add some consistency to his game.
