1/12 Celtics injury report vs. Pacers

  • Jaylen Brown (back) - OUT
  • Sam Hauser (hamstring) - AVAILABLE
  • Josh Minott (ankle) - OUT
  • Jayson Tatum (Achilles) - OUT

Jaylen Brown has popped up on the Celtics' injury report with low back spasms and is listed as out to play against Indiana after initially being listed as doubtful. The Georgia native has missed just two games this season and is averaging 29.5 points, 6.4 rebounds, 5 assists, and 1 steal per game.

Sam Hauser was a late scratch for the Celtics prior to their loss to the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday. He remains on the team's injury report with right hamstring tightness but is available to make his return for Monday's game.

The Celtics have been without Josh Minott, who had a very solid start to the season, since Jan. 3, and he remains out against Indiana due to a left ankle sprain.

Celtics star Jayson Tatum remains out as he recovers from an Achilles injury. He still doesn't have a concrete timetable for his return, but according to Chris Mannix of Sports Illustrated, the Duke alum is expected to push for a February or March return.

"And all indications, everything I’ve heard, suggest he’s going to push really hard in February and March to get back out there—the team will be in a position to compete," Mannix said on NBA on NBC.
