Schroder joins Enes Kanter Freedom, Bruno Fernando, Sam Hauser, Justin Jackson, C.J. Miles, Aaron Nesmith, Grant Williams, and Josh Richardson, who will be out for the next several days.
Meanwhile, the Celtics players who were listed as questionable less than 24-hours ago have been upgraded to available to play Christmas Day. Marcus Smart (left hip) and Romeo Langford (left Achilles) are set to start today, while Juancho Hernangomez, Jabari Parker, and Brodric Thomas are no longer in health and safety protocol. However, Al Horford is still out due to "return to competition reconditioning," but did travel with the team.
