On March 30th, Ron Harbor Jr. tweaked his ankle in the second quarter during the Celtics matchup against the Charlotte Hornets on Sunday. The team called him questionable to return right before halftime, but the 24-year-old bounced back and logged four more minutes in the second, half. Before the injury hit, Harbor Jr. was on fire, dropping seven points on perfect three-of-three shooting, grabbing three rebounds, snagging a steal, and swatting a block all in just 10 minutes. The Celtics dominated those minutes, outscoring the Hornets by 12 points with him on the floor. He was spotted grimacing on the bench, talking it over with the medical crew, before ducking into the locker room. This season, he suited up in 24 games on a two-way deal, putting up 3.4 points and 1.5 rebounds per game in about 10.3 minutes of action. His standout moment came last month, with a career high 22 points against the San Antonio Spurs, showing he can light it up when called upon. We'll keep an eye on updates as the Celtics monitor his status moving forward.
