Logs 16 off bench in win
Garza accumulated 16 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds and one assist across 19 minutes during Monday's 122-90 win over the Pelicans.
Analysis
Garza exploded for his first double-digit scoring performance this season, which may have been fueled partly by the blowout nature of the game, with Boston pulling its starters in the fourth quarter. Regardless, Garza has shown that he can be an asset in the rotation if given the opportunity, and he may be awarded more playing time if he can put up another strong outing.

Active Sunday
Garza (concussion) is available for Sunday's game against the Pistons.
Analysis
After missing Friday's game against the Knicks, Garza has cleared concussion protocol and will suit up Sunday. The big man is unlikely to see much time on the court as the third-string center behind Neemias Queta and Xavier Tillman.

Upgraded to probable
Garza (concussion) is probable for Sunday's game against the Pistons, Jay King of The Athletic reports.
Analysis
Garza missed Friday's game against the Knicks while in concussion protocol but appears on track to return Sunday. He's unlikely to see heavy minutes, though the center rotation among him, Neemias Queta and Xavier Tillman is far from settled.

Questionable for Sunday
Garza (concussion) is questionable to play in Sunday's game against the Pistons.
Analysis
Garza is in danger of missing a second straight game due to being in concussion protocol. If he can't play Sunday, his next chance to suit up will be Monday against the Pelicans.

Won't play Friday
Garza (concussion) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Knicks, Zack Cox of the Boston Herald reports.
Analysis
Garza continues to be in concussion protocol. He won't return to the floor until he goes through the process and is cleared. The team will likely lean on Xavier Tillman and Chris Boucher behind Neemias Queta in the frontcourt.

Enters concussion protocol
Garza has entered the league-mandated concussion protocol testing, and he will not return to Wednesday's game against the 76ers, Souichi Terada of The Springfield Republican reports.
Analysis
Garza collided with Adem Bona during the second quarter, and now that he's been diagnosed with a concussion, he'll need to clear a series of tests before he's allowed to return to the floor. Expect more minutes for Neemias Queta and Xavier Tillman while he's out.
