The Boston Celtics will start their looming final West Coast trip of the 2021-22 NBA season a little thin on the wing with word from Celtics head coach Ime Udoka that second-year small forward Aaron Nesmith will not be able to travel with the team to start the trip.
Udoka related that while there was “nothing new” with regards to Nesmith’s availability overall, there’s some hope he could return to action soon with the team “targeting later in the trip, if possible” for his return. Per the coach, the South Carolina native is “continuing to get his work done getting some shots up, (and) a little more movement day by day.”
Still, Udoka believes Nesmith is “at least a few games away still.”
