According to Shams Charania Nikola Vucevic should return in about a month following his successful ORIF surgery on his right ring finger. The Celtics are a bit more cautious, saying he will be reevaluated in three to four weeks. Vucevic suffered the fracture early in last night's game ending the team's extremely short run of being fully healthy.

Barring a setback, Vucevic should be back on the court when the NBA playoffs begin on April 18th. Luka Garza should pick up significant minutes in Vucevic's absence.
