Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Questionable for Thursday
Tillman is questionable for Thursday's game against the Knicks due to right knee tendon irritation, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Tillman is being listed as questionable for the first game of a back-to-back set, along with Al Horford (toe) and Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring), so the Celtics could be very thin up front Thursday night. If all these guys are out, Luke Kornet and Oshae Brissett could be forced into major minutes. Check back for another update on Tillman following Thursday's shootaround.

Tillman is averaging 7.4 points and 6.1 rebounds per game as a starter this season, though it'll be only his second one in a Boston uniform.

Tillman (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Atlanta, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
Tillman appeared in the last seven games but will be unavailable Monday due to his knee injury. He'll have a few days to rest before Thursday's rematch against Atlanta, but it's unclear whether he'll be ready to return by then.

Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Questionable for Monday
Tillman is questionable Monday against Atlanta due to left knee swelling, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Left knee issues have plagued Tillman throughout this season, so a resurfacing of the injury designation is notable. He logged just 11 minutes in Saturday's win over Chicago after averaging 18.5 minutes across six prior appearances, so his status for Monday's game is murky.

Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Coming off bench
Tillman will return to a reserve role in Saturday's game against the Bulls, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.

Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Joins starting lineup
Tillman is starting Friday's game against the Pistons, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.
Tillman is set to make his first start as a member of the Celtics due to the absence of Al Horford (toe) and Jayson Tatum (ankle). The Michigan State product has logged double-digit minutes off the bench in five straight matchups, averaging 3.4 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.0 assists over that stretch.

Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Grabs eight boards in win
Tillman amassed seven points (3-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt), eight rebounds, one assist and one steal over 27 minutes in Tuesday's 123-107 road win over the Jazz.
Tillman's 27 minutes of run were driven by the absence of both Kristaps Porzingis (hamstring) and Al Horford (toe). Still, Tillman produced solid numbers off the bench, which led to a plus-14 point differential rating. Since Boston acquired Tillman at the deadline, minutes have been erratic for both Tillman and Luke Kornet. But both were able to shine in this last contest of a five-game road trip. Expect Tillman's minutes to decrease Thursday when the Celtics return home to face the Suns.

Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Carving out bench role
Tillman had two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist across 13 minutes during Thursday's 115-109 loss to Denver.
Tillman has played double-digit minutes in three of Boston's last four contests after being out of the rotation to start his Celtics tenure. His lack of playing time early on with the Celtics may have been due to a knee injury, but now that he's 100 percent healthy, the veteran forward appears to have surpassed Luke Kornet in Boston's rotation. While Tillman has carved out a bench role, he's not playing enough to warrant attention in fantasy.

Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Gets light run in blowout
Tillman (knee) tallied two points (1-1 FG) and one block in three minutes Thursday in the Celtics' 129-112 win over the Bulls.
Tillman made his Celtics debut Thursday after he hadn't been available since being acquired from the Grizzlies on Feb. 7 while he continued to recover from a left knee injury. He found himself outside of head coach Joe Mazzulla's rotation, however, as Tillman didn't check into the game until 2:33 remained in the fourth quarter, when the Celtics were up by 18 points. Tillman looks like he'll need at least one or two of Boston's regular rotation players to be out for a given game in order to play meaningful minutes.

Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Available for Thursday's game
Tillman (knee) is available for Thursday's game against Chicago, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
Tillman has been dealing with a left knee injury in recent weeks and hasn't yet been able to make his debut for the Celtics after being traded from Memphis to Boston in early February. However, he'll be able to suit up as the Celtics resume play following the All-Star break. The 25-year-old should compete with Luke Kornet for reserve center minutes now that he's healthy.

Tillman (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Nets, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.
Tillman was traded from the Grizzlies to the Celtics on Wednesday but hasn't yet been able to make his team debut due to his knee injury. It wouldn't be surprising to see him remain sidelined for Wednesday's rematch against the Nets to give him additional time to rest before the All-Star break.

Celtics' Xavier Tillman: Not playing Sunday
Tillman (knee) won't play against the Heat on Sunday, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
After being acquired from the Grizzlies on Wednesday, Tillman acknowledged he has no precise timeline to resume game action while he recovers from a sore left knee. The Celtics will continue to evaluate Tillman's status on a game-by-game basis, but he'll most likely sit out the team's upcoming Tuesday/Wednesday back-to-back set with the Nets to heal up in advance of the All-Star break. Once healthy, Tillman could challenge Luke Kornet for a role as the Celtics' fourth option in the frontcourt behind Jayson Tatum, Kristaps Porzingis and Al Horford.

Celtics' Xavier Tillman: No timetable to return
Tillman (knee) said Friday that he doesn't have a timetable to return, John Karalis of BostonSportsJournal.com reports.
Tillman was traded from the Grizzlies to the Celtics on Wednesday, but he's been dealing with a left knee injury recently. He participated in Boston's morning shootaround ahead of Friday's game against the Wizards, but his comments afterward imply that he'll be sidelined against Washington. Once Tillman is healthy, he will fight for reserve center minutes with Al Horford and Luke Kornet.
