Overview
- Vucevic fractured his right ring finger on March 6 against the Mavericks after feeling a pop he first thought was a dislocation.
- He underwent surgery on March 7, and the Celtics set a three-to-four week timeline for reevaluation.
- Two weeks post-op, he is traveling with the team, doing left-handed court work, wearing protective splints, and reporting reduced swelling with ongoing range-of-motion exercises.
- He says he aims to log a couple of games before the playoffs and could ramp right-hand activity if next week’s X-ray is clear.
- Reports say he is expected to miss at least a month; since arriving Feb. 5, he has averaged 10.4 points and 7.2 rebounds in 12 games for Boston.
