Kemba Walker (knee) unlikely for Celtics on Wednesday

Boston Celtics point guard Kemba Walker (sore left knee) is unlikely to play on Wednesday against the Utah Jazz, per head coach Brad Stevens.

What It Means:

Walker has already been ruled out for a third straight game on Tuesday. The Celtics want Walker to be healthy for the postseason, so they're going to play it safe with his knee down the stretch. Marcus Smart will likely make another start.

Per numberFire's NBA Heat Map, the Celtics have an implied total of 115.0 points (fourth-highest) on Tuesday’s seven-game slate.
