Vucevic's Return Boosts Celtics in Key Eastern Clash

0:00On April 5th, Nikola Vusovic is finally back on the court for the Boston Celtics, suiting up against the Toronto Raptors after missing time with A, fractured finger from early March. The big man got traded to Boston at the deadline for guard Anthony Simons to boost their center spot with more shooting range. He's the only Celtics player on the injury report heading into this match-up. The Celtics aren't fire right now, coming off blow-out wins over the Miami Heat and Milwaukee Bucks to wrap their roadtrip strong. They're chasing that number two seed in the east, looking to seal it by handling the nicks in the standing's race. Fans are buzzing about Jason Tatum getting back to his dominant form post injury, while Jalen Brown keeps bawling out at near MVP levels as the season winds down. Boston's depth at center has been their Achilles heel all year, so Vusovic's return could lock in their front core edge. Over on the Raptors side, Emmanuel quickly sits out with Plantar Fassiitis in his right foot, thinning their back court options.

1:01Officials confirm Vusovic is good to go, setting up a key Eastern conference clash. Tip off his Sunday at 3.30 p.m. Eastern time from Boston, and with Boston rolling, this could be the game that summends their top tier status, heading into the playoffs.
