The Celtics should be at nearly full strength when they welcome LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers to TD Garden Thursday night hours after the NBA trade deadline.
The C's injury report lists Aron Baynes as out with a left foot contusion and Robert Williams as questionable with low back soreness, meaning starters Kyrie Irving and Marcus Morris, who missed the victory in Cleveland on Tuesday, are expected back for the Lakers game. Irving was out with a sore hip, Morris with right knee soreness.
Of course, LeBron & Co., and perhaps the Celtics, could look a lot different after the 3 p.m. trade deadline. The Lakers have been embroiled in the possible Anthony Davis trade drama - as have the C's to a lesser extent. While L.A. has reportedly pulled out of the Davis Derby, for now, they could be part of other deals.
As for Irving's future in Boston, according to an ESPN report Wednesday, the Celtics are "cautiously optimistic" about re-signing him this summer.
