Devin Carter was cleared from Day-To-Day on Saturday, Oct. 17 at 10:02 AM ET. The move removes him from the injury report ahead of Boston's trip to Detroit.
What happened
The Celtics cleared guard Devin Carter on Saturday, Oct. 17 at 10:02 AM ET, moving him off Day-To-Day. He had carried that same Day-To-Day tag since Oct. 10, when he first appeared on the report with an illness issue and, separately that same day, a rest designation. The official injury report lists no further detail and no comment beyond the status change. No expected-return timetable was tied to the entry, since the clearance ends the need for one.
What it means for the Celtics
Boston is 0-0 with the 2026-27 season not yet underway, and its next game is at the Pistons on Tuesday, Oct. 20 at 3:00 PM ET on NBC/Peacock. Last season, Carter averaged 18.4 minutes, 8.9 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists over 38 games. With him unavailable, Boston's backcourt minutes have gone to Derrick White (34.1 minutes, 16.5 points), Payton Pritchard (32.3 minutes, 17.0 points) and Anfernee Simons (24.5 minutes, 14.2 points), while Jaylen Brown (34.4 minutes, 28.7 points) and Jayson Tatum (32.6 minutes, 21.8 points) have led the rotation overall.
What to watch
Carter's status will next be updated on the team's injury report ahead of the Pistons game. No return timetable was attached to Saturday's clearance, since he is off the report entirely. Boston's report still lists several teammates as Day-To-Day with rest designations, including Jaylen Brown is not among them, but Sam Hauser, Mitchell Robinson, Neemias Queta, Paul George, Payton Pritchard, Mike Conley, Derrick White and Jayson Tatum, so the full lineup for the Pistons game remains to be confirmed.
