Boston Celtics guard Payton Pritchard (ankle) is officially cleared to play in Monday's game against the Pistons, according to Justin Turpin of WEEI.com. Pritchard had been carrying a questionable tag and missed Saturday's contest against the Hawks. With his return, he is expected to reclaim his starting spot in the lineup, which will likely move Baylor Scheierman back to the second unit for the Celtics.
