NEW YORK -- The Boston Celtics, beset by injuries at the center position, will have Tacko Fall on the active roster tonight.
Fall, one of Boston's two-way contract signees, could potentially see action in his first NBA game.
"I'm ready," Fall said. "It's crazy; a dream come true."
Despite Boston's roster being injury-riddled at the center position, his availability is by no means a given that he will play.
With Enes Kanter (knee) and Daniel Theis (ankle) both out tonight, Boston will likely turn to Robert Williams III to start.

The second-year big man made two starts in the preseason.
Boston will also lean on rookies Grant Williams and Vincent Poirier at center most likely before they turn to Fall.
Regardless of whether he sees time tonight, Fall is enjoying his time with the Celtics.
"Being part of it (the team) has been such a great experience even though I haven't touched the floor yet," Fall said. I've enjoyed it."
