Malcolm Brogdon Injury Update: Celtics Guard Doubtful for Game 6
Boston Celtics guard Malcolm Brogdon is doubtful to play in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Miami Heat on Saturday night.
Brogdon has been dealing with a right forearm strain since Game 1 of the series. He played in Games 3 and 4, but he was limited in both games. He did not play in Game 5.
The Celtics are already without forward Robert Williams III, who is out for the series with a torn meniscus in his left knee. If Brogdon is unable to play, it would be another major blow to the Celtics' hopes of winning the series.
The Celtics lead the Heat 3-2 in the series. Game 6 is scheduled to tip off at 8:30 p.m. ET on ESPN.
