Why Anfernee Simons Isn't Playing Much for Celtics vs. Magic
Anfernee Simons was an exciting offseason acquisition for the Boston Celtics, expected to play a significant role, especially with Jayson Tatum sidelined for most or all of the season due to injury.
However, during Friday night's game in Orlando against the Magic, Simons played very little. By halftime, he had been on the court for only two minutes.
Simons' Playing Time and Injury Status
There has been no official update regarding Simons' status or any injury that would explain his limited time on the floor. The Celtics have not announced any injury concerning the guard.
His minutes off the bench have fluctuated somewhat throughout the season, but nothing as extreme as this game.
Coach's Possible Explanation
Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla is expected to provide some insight after the game, which might clarify the situation.
"Joe Mazzulla will likely have an explanation after the game, and it may make perfect sense."
