Coach Udoka says Romeo “has quite a bit of soreness and stiffness in his neck” from the hit he took last night, but he’ll likely only be out a day or two.

Celtics reportedly signing forward Justin Jackson
Due to a string of COVID-related absences, the Celtics are signing Jackson via the hardship exception.
By Jack Simone Ron Chenoy-USA TODAY Sports
The Boston Celtics are signing forward Justin Jackson via the league’s hardship exception, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic. They will be adding the 6’8”, 220-lb forward amidst a slew of COVID-related absences.
Jackson spent four years in the NBA across four different teams after being drafted 15th overall by the Sacramento Kings in 2017. In 248 career games, he averaged 6.6 points and 2.5 rebounds while shooting 42.7 percent from the field and 32.1 percent from deep. Jackson last played for the Oklahoma City Thunder (33 games) and Milwaukee Bucks (1 game) last season.
He has yet to appear in an NBA game this year. He’s appeared in 10 games with the Texas Legends, the Dallas Mavericks’ G-League affiliate, averaging 22.7 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 3.3 assists while shooting 47.3 percent from the field and 41.4 percent from three-point range.
The former UNC Tar Heel’s season has been highlighted by a 41-point performance back near the start of November. He shot 14-19 from the field and 11-15 from three-point range in the win.

Knicks will deploy the "Angry Ex-Celtic" strategy bringing the failing Kemba back into the starting lineup for tonight's game vs the C's ... Extra fun for the Kemba and midget guard haters.
Kemba Walker - Starting SaturdayWalker will start Saturday's game against the Celtics. ImpactWith Derrick Rose (ankle) and several other Knicks regulars sidelined due to COVID-19, Walker will re-enter the rotation. He's averaging 11.7 points, 3.1 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 24.4 minutes. This will be his first action since Nov. 26.

I'm not liking the flow of this game. JT and JB have 12 shots between then, with 11 being 3-point attempts (JT just attacked the rim and, what, side out).
I hope they don't continue to settle for the 3.

There you go JT. Attack the rim and you get the bucket and the And 1. Nobody on the court can check you so dominate.
