On paper, the Celtics’ roster looks ill-equipped to handle injuries to any of its most important players.

Boston has spent the last week upending that narrative.

Over their last four games, the Celtics have played one without one starter, another without two starters and a third in which one starter left with an injury six minutes in and did not return. Their record in those three contests: 3-0.

The latest was a 117-115 road win over the Cavaliers on Sunday. Cleveland was dealing with its own injury issues, but it still had three 2025 All-Stars in the lineup (Donovan Mitchell, Darius Garland and Evan Mobley), and Boston was playing on the second night of a back-to-back while starters Derrick White and Neemias Queta watched from the bench in street clothes.
