Shulga isn't starting in Sunday's game against Philadelphia.
Shulga made the first start of his career in the 113-108 win over Orlando to close out the regular season, finishing with three points, three boards and one steal in 18 minutes. However, the Celtics' starters are healthy and ready to begin the series with the 76ers, moving Shulga back to the bench and potentially out of the rotation altogether.

Celtics' Max Shulga: Making first NBA start Sunday
Rotowire
Shulga is in the Celtics' starting lineup against the Magic on Sunday.
The rookie second-rounder has spent most of the 2025-26 season in the G League with the Maine Celtics and has appeared in just 10 regular-season games for Boston. However, Shulga will enter the starting five for the first time in his NBA career, as the Celtics are resting several starters and key rotation pieces for Sunday's regular-season finale.

Celtics' Max Shulga: Plays in garbage time Wednesday
Rotowire
Shulga recorded no statistics while playing the final eight seconds of Wednesday's 147-129 win over the Heat.
Shulga arrived in Miami in time for Wednesday's game, after he had suited up for the G League's Maine Celtics a night earlier in the affiliate's playoff loss to the Greensboro Swarm. With Maine having been eliminated from the postseason, Shulga will remain with Boston moving forward but is unlikely to see minutes outside of garbage-time scenarios or games in which the team is resting multiple rotation players.

Rotowire
The Celtics recalled Shulga from the G League's Maine Celtics on Wednesday.
Shulga has rejoined Boston ahead of Wednesday's game against the Thunder, but he's unlikely to be featured in the rotation. The rookie second-round pick saw extended run Tuesday in Maine's 130-105 win over the Cleveland Charge, finishing with 12 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six assists, one rebound and one steal.

Celtics' Max Shulga: Back to NBA
Rotowire
Boston recalled Shulga from the G League's Maine Celtics on Friday.
Shulga recorded 11 points, six rebounds, four assists and two steals during a G League game versus the Long Island Nets in his last assignment period.

Celtics' Max Shulga: Lands standard contract
Rotowire
Shulga agreed to a two-year contract with the Celtics on Saturday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
The VCU product was selected by Boston with the 57th overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft and subsequently agreed to a two-way deal with the club. However, he's now been upgraded to a standard contract despite logging just five minutes across three regular-season appearances at the NBA level thus far. The 23-year-old guard may continue spending time with the team's G League affiliate, the Maine Celtics, where he has averaged 15.7 points, 6.7 assists, 4.4 rebounds and 1.6 steals per game across 36 outings.

Celtics' Max Shulga: Rare appearance in win
Rotowire
Shulga contributed no counting stats across two minutes during Monday's 108-81 victory over Milwaukee.
Shulga appeared for just the second time this season, both of which have come during garbage time. The 57th pick in the 2025 draft is buried on the depth chart in Boston, making him a non-factor in all fantasy formats.
Celtics' Max Shulga: Snapped up by Boston in Round 2
Rotowire
Shulga was selected by the Celtics with the No. 57 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.
The 6-foot-4 shooting guard capped a five-year collegiate career in impressive fashion in 2024-25, taking home Atlantic 10 Conference Player of the Year honors while averaging 15.0 points, 5.9 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.8 steals in 32.8 minutes per contest in 35 games for VCU. Perhaps more notably, Shulga converted at an efficient 38.7 percent from three-point range on 2.1 attempts per contest, and his ability to knock down open looks while serving as a secondary playmaker will likely be the key to him carving out a role at the NBA level. According to Jonathan Givony of ESPN.com, Shulga will sign a two-way contract with Boston, so he'll likely see most of his playing time in his first professional season in the G League with the Maine Celtics.
