Payton Pritchard Sidelined Tuesday Due to Neck Spasm

Payton Pritchard will miss Tuesday's game against the Spurs due to a neck spasm, marking only his second absence of the season. The guard, who averages 16.9 points and 5.4 assists, is targeting a return for Thursday's game against the Thunder. In his absence, the Celtics are expected to increase the roles of Baylor Scheierman and Ron Harper Jr. to help distribute field-goal opportunities and manage ball-handling duties.
