Boston Celtics reserve big man Luke Kornet returned to the team’s practice on Monday to try to climb back into the battle with fellow frontcourt players Grant Williams, Noah Vonleh, Blake Griffin and Mfiondu Kabengele for playing time while starting center Robert Williams III is out injured.
Boston plays its final preseason game on Friday against the Toronto Raptors in Montreal, and Kornet spent most of Monday’s practice getting his feet under him in live action for the first time since injuring his ankle two weeks ago early in training camp.
CLNS Media’s Bobby Manning gives an injury update and his take on double big vs. small ball lineups for these Celtics.
Take a look at the clip embedded above to get up to speed on where Kornet likely fits into the team’s big man rotation based on what’s been playing out at camp.
