Makes garbage-time cameo
Minott played the final 4:39 of Wednesday's 117-106 loss to the Hawks, finishing with five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and one rebound.
Analysis
The Celtics were shorthanded in the frontcourt Wednesday with Neemias Queta (illness) sitting out, but his absence didn't open up room in the rotation for Minott, who had been cleared to return to action earlier this week after missing 10 straight games while recovering from an ankle sprain. Boston got by with a combination of Luka Garza and Amari Williams at center while the game was competitive before Minott checked in for the first time late in the fourth quarter, when Atlanta had built an 18-point lead to effectively salt the game away.

Upgraded to available
Minott (ankle) is available for Monday's game against Portland, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Analysis
Minott is primed to finish a 10-game absence due to a sprained left ankle Monday. With Luka Garza (illness) unavailable, it's possible Minott sees some additional minutes. Minott has averaged 4.7 points, 2.1 rebounds and 0.8 assists in 15.4 minutes per contest over his last 10 appearances.

Could return Monday
Minott (questionable) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against Portland, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Analysis
Minott has not played since Jan. 3 due to a left ankle sprain. He has a chance to make his return Monday, though he wasn't a regular part of the Celtics' rotation prior to his injury.

Not playing Saturday
Minott (ankle) is out for Saturday's game against the Bulls, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Analysis
Minott didn't play Friday against the Nets due to a left ankle sprain, and that same injury will rule him out of the second leg of this back-to-back set. Minott's next chance to play will come against the Trail Blazers on Monday, but even if he's given the green light, he doesn't see enough minutes on a steady basis to be an option in most fantasy formats.
