Bradley Beal (sore right shoulder) is questionable vs. the Bulls on Wednesday.
This is a new injury for Beal and not the lingering leg injury that kept him out for five games. Beal looked fine in his return on Sunday with 25 points in 27 minutes, and it's possible he suffered the injury in that game. This isn't a back-to-back set and Beal is likely going to be a game-time call. If he can't go, Jordan McRae, Troy Brown and Gary Payton II will benefit.
Anthony Davis (bruised tailbone) will remain on the sidelines for Wednesday's game against the Magic.
This isn't all that surprising given that Frank Vogel said that AD was still moving around "gingerly" at Tuesday's light practice, but he is moving in the right direction and will now have another three days to rest up prior to Saturday's game in Houston. Kyle Kuzma will get another start tonight with LeBron James doing the heavy lifting on offense.
President David Griffin said Zion Williamson (knee) is expected to make his season debut on Jan. 22 against San Antonio.
The Pelicans want two more practices on the 17th and 19th for the No. 1 pick, and Zion should be out there on the 22nd as long as those two practices go well. Practices have been a main concern for Zion for the last month, and he has been going through some pre-game workouts for about a month, as well. He's likely going to have a ton of restrictions on him, but we should finally get a look at Zion in the regular season after his stellar play in the preseason.
Jayson Tatum (sore right knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Pistons.
Tatum was initially being listed as probable on the injury report, but the Celtics will opt to play it safe here and keep him on the sidelines. Tatum is dealing with some tendinitis in his right knee, but he will travel to Milwaukee for Thursday's game and will likely be back for that one. With him unavailable tonight, Semi Ojeleye could get the start, Grant Williams will see an uptick in minutes and there will be more shots available for Kemba Walker, Jaylen Brown and Gordon Hayward.
