Depth Chart
- Ballhandlers (5): Marcus Smart, Derrick White, Malcolm Brogdon, Payton Pritchard, J.D. Davison
- Wings (4): Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, Sam Hauser, Justin Jackson
- Bigs (6): Al Horford, Grant Williams, Blake Griffin, Luke Kornet, Noah Vonleh, Mfiondu Kabengele
- Injured (2): Danilo Gallinari, Robert Williams
Notes
- Danilo Gallinari is expected to miss the entirety of the 2022-23 season while recovering from a torn ACL.
- Robert Williams was ruled out for 8-12 weeks in late-September due to further surgery on his left knee. That timeline would have Williams back in late-November on the early side, or around Christmas on the longer side. It wouldn’t be a surprise to see the Celtics be cautious with Williams and hold him until sometime after the calendar turns to 2023.
- J.D. Davison and Mfiondu Kabengele are limited to playing in 50 games with the Boston Celtics. That game clock starts counting on November 4, when the G League regular season starts, and stops counting on March 25, when the G League regular season ends.
- Al Horford’s contract will go from $19.5 million guaranteed to the fully guaranteed amount of $26.5 million unless he is waived by January 7.
- Justin Jackson’s contract becomes fully guaranteed for $1.8 million unless he is waived by January 7.
- Luke Kornet’s contract goes from $300,000 guaranteed to $1.1 million guaranteed on Opening Night. Kornet’s contract will become fully guaranteed at $2.1 million unless he is waived by January 7.
- Noah Vonleh’s contract becomes fully guaranteed for $1.8 million unless he is waived by January 7.
- For accounting purposes towards the luxury tax, all of the partial/non-guaranteed players count for their full salaries at this point. The leaves the Celtics roughly $25.5 million over the tax line.
