It’s unclear how severe this injury is, but the hope is that this is just a precautionary measure. After all, Pritchard already showed plenty in this game, being the primary offensive driving force for the team. He finishes this game with 10 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists on 57% shooting, including a deep logo 3-pointer.
The Celtics lead the Magic 56-54 at the half. Ryan Arcidiacono will start the second half.
