Celtics' Anton Watson: Absent from injury report
Watson (thigh) was not listed on the Celtics' injury report for Tuesday's game against the Raptors.
Watson had been working through a left adductor strain that had forced him to be sidelined for Boston's last two games. Watson's return won't have any impact on the Celtics' rotation, however, as the rookie second-rounder has yet to appear in an NBA regular-season game.

Celtics' Anton Watson: Sits Friday with adductor strain
Watson was ruled out ahead of Friday's 142-105 win over the Pacers due to a left adductor strain.
The rookie second-round pick out of Gonzaga is on a two-way deal with the Celtics and has yet to make his NBA debut, so his absence Friday had no effect on head coach Joe Mazzulla's rotation. Once healthy, Watson will presumably link back up with the G League's Maine Celtics.

Celtics' Anton Watson: Selected No. 54 by Boston
The Celtics selected Watson with the No. 54 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft on Thursday.
Watson fit into a lot of different roles at Gonzaga during his five years with the Bulldogs, and he ended his final season with averages of 14.5 points, 7.1 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.5 steals per contest on 57.8 percent shooting from the floor. However, he converted just 65.3 percent of his free throw attempts and went 21-of-51 from distance, so he'll need to work on expanding his range to stay relevant at the NBA level. Considering he's joining a loaded Boston team that will be looking to repeat for another championship, Watson's playing opportunities will be scarce and he'll likely spend a lot of the season with their G League affiliate in Maine.
