After battling a multi-week ankle injury, the Celtics have decided to assign Nesmith to the G League to continue his rehab. It's unclear when he will rejoin the team.

Celtics F Aaron Nesmith is officially out for Sunday’s game against Denver according to The Athletic’s Jay King.

This will be the seventh straight missed game for Nesmith but Raptors coach Ime Udoka says he’s “getting close” to returning. There appears to be a good chance Nesmith makes his return Monday night in Oklahoma City.

According to Celtics reporter Jay King, Aaron Nesmith (ankle) remains out Friday vs. the Pistons.

Fantasy Impact

During 3/3's game against the Grizzlies, Nesmith suffered a hard fall going up to block a shot. Since that point, the 22-year-old has missed two straight games and will miss a third with an ailing ankle injury. His minimal minutes in the rotation will continue to go to Payton Pritchard and Daniel Theis.

Celtics forward Aaron Nesmith is still dealing with swelling and pain in his right ankle that will leave him day-to-day.

Fantasy Impact

Nesmith sprained his right ankle in a game last week, and the pain and swelling from it continue to be a lingering issue. He will remain listed as day-to-day, but he is getting some work in on the court Tuesday. It's unclear how soon he will be able to return, and fantasy managers should look for Luke Kornet and Payton Pritchard to see additional minutes while he is out.

According to Tim Bontemps on Twitter, Aaron Nesmith headed to the locker room with an ankle injury.

Fantasy Impact

During the first quarter of the Celtics game, Nesmith went up to attempt a block and came down awkwardly on his ankle. The second-year pro headed to the locker room in severe pain and is questionable to return. Luke Kornet and Payton Pritchard should see elevated minutes with the Celtics having Brown and Nesmith out.
