What happened: Boston Celtics guard Payton Pritchard is available to play Wednesday after previously being listed as questionable with a right shoulder contusion. Boston previously ruled out Jayson Tatum for rest and Devin Carter due to illness.

Why it matters: Pritchard's clearance provides backcourt depth for Boston with Tatum sidelined. The Celtics are looking to bounce back after a 93-109 loss to the Houston Rockets on Monday.

By the numbers: Pritchard has recorded 13.4 points per game and 3.0 rebounds per game and 3.4 assists per game in 2026-27 through 7 games.

What to watch: Boston returns to action Wednesday night with Pritchard available in the guard rotation.
