The Boston Celtics have upgraded center Nikola Vucevic to questionable for Sunday’s game against the Toronto Raptors, marking a step forward in his recovery timeline.
Vucevic underwent surgery one month ago after fracturing his right ring finger. He has been working back from the procedure, and Sunday’s designation indicates he is closer to returning to game action.

Vucevic’s availability will be determined closer to tipoff as Boston prepares to face Toronto. The Celtics will continue to monitor his right ring finger following the surgery.
Sunday’s meeting with the Raptors is the next opportunity for Vucevic to potentially rejoin the lineup after his month-long absence.
