Celtics' Luke Kornet Cleared from Injury Report Ahead of Miami Game

Luke Kornet has been cleared from the injury report and is expected to play in Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat after recovering from an illness that caused him to miss Monday's game against the Grizzlies. With Al Horford doubtful and Kristaps Porzingis questionable for the matchup, Kornet may take on a more significant role in the lineup. He averaged 7.2 points and 6.1 rebounds in the previous month, contributing to the Celtics' strong performance this season. If Kornet had been unable to play, Neemias Queta would have been a candidate for increased minutes. His return is seen as a boost for the Celtics as they continue their playoff push.
