The Celtics will be even more depleted than expected in Game 1 of their playoff series with the Sixers.
Aside from missing Kyrie Irving and obviously Gordon Hayward, second-year swingman Jaylen Brown is doubtful for Game 1 and "still has some soreness" after leaving Boston's Game 7 win over Milwaukee with a hamstring injury, according to the Celtics' official injury report.
Celtics head coach Brad Stevens did say Brown could return early in the series.
