OKC Thunder vs Boston Celtics Injury Report for April 3 | 2023-24 NBA Season 

The Boston Celtics (59-16) and the Oklahoma City Thunder (52-22) both hold the top spots in their respective conferences and are aiming for their third consecutive win as they face off at TD Garden on Wednesday night at 7:30 p.m. ET.

Despite facing a setback against Houston, the Thunder have bounced back with two consecutive wins. Currently leading the Western Conference standings by a narrow half-game margin over the Denver Nuggets, they are determined to increase their lead with a victory on Wednesday. This would be their fourth win in the last six games.

The Celtics will enter this game with confidence, as they have recently won two consecutive games. With the top seed in the Eastern Conference already secured and only seven games left in the season, their goal is to continue their winning streak and end the season on a high note.

Despite having a 6-4 record in their last 10 matchups against Oklahoma City, Boston was defeated by the Thunder in their first meeting of the season.

OKC Thunder injury update for April 3

Despite playing on back-to-back nights, the Thunder have not yet released their injury report. It is expected that Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (quad) and Jalen Williams (ankle) will remain absent as they were in the first game against the Philadelphia 76ers. They will be listed as game-time decisions on the injury report.

The Thunder will carefully assess their conditions and review them again during the morning shootaround before determining if they are fit to play. This precaution is necessary to avoid any potential aggravation of their injuries, particularly with the postseason approaching.

Latest on Jalen Williams’ injury status

Despite previously being sidelined by a right ankle sprain in March, Jalen Williams’ current injury is said to be unrelated.

There is no information available about his level of participation during Wednesday’s shootaround. Due to the potential challenges that come with ankle injuries, his status will need to be monitored before the 7:30 p.m. ET game against Boston, according to Rotowire.

Boston Celtics injury updates as of April 3

The injury report for the Boston Celtics includes two players: Jaden Springer is out with a knee injury, and Jaylen Brown is listed as questionable due to a hand injury.

Jaylen Brown’s Road to Recovery: Injury Update and Return Timeline

Despite both players being absent for the recent victory against the Hornets, it seems that Brown’s injury is not too severe.

If it is determined that Brown’s injury is severe, the Celtics may choose to give him a break. With limited motivation to use their starting players and potentially make their injuries worse, they may prioritize the well-being of their team members. However, they may still be driven to redeem themselves for their previous defeat against the Thunder during this season.
