The Boston Celtics face the Denver Nuggets in a significant matchup on Tuesday, but they may be missing two key players due to illness. Guard Derrick White and forward Jordan Walsh have recently been added to the injury report, raising concerns about their availability for the game. White's late addition is particularly troubling, as he has been a standout performer, averaging 17.1 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 4.4 assists over 35 games this season.

White's contributions are vital, and if he cannot play, the Celtics may rely on Payton Pritchard and Sam Hauser to fill the void. While Walsh generally plays a minor role in the team's rotation, his absence could be felt as he has the potential to step up as the season progresses. Both players' statuses will be closely monitored leading up to the game.
