Anfernee Simons’ Minutes Dwindle in Celtics Game vs. Orlando

ORLANDO, Fla. — Anfernee Simons had an unusual night on Friday as the Boston Celtics faced off against the Orlando Magic. Expected to play a significant role this season, especially with Jayson Tatum sidelined by injury, Simons struggled to find the court time.

By halftime, Simons had logged only two minutes of playing time, leaving fans and analysts puzzled. The Celtics did not report any injury affecting Simons, leading to questions about his limited involvement.

Coach Joe Mazzulla was anticipated to address the situation after the game. Simons, who usually comes off the bench, has experienced fluctuations in his playing time this season, but nothing as drastic as Friday’s performance.

The Celtics, who heavily rely on their bench players in Tatum’s absence, faced a challenging situation. If Simons continues to see limited minutes, it could impact the team’s performance moving forward. Fans are eager for clarification on his status.
