The former Montenegro national team player spent only two minutes on the court before having to leave the game due to injury, so his performance ended quickly.
After the results showed that Vučević had broken the ring finger of his right hand, it was decided that the Montenegrin center would undergo surgery to repair the injury.
This means that Boston will be without one of its most important basketball players for about a month, a center who recently arrived on the team to strengthen the competition in the racket.
The game at TD Garden also marked the return of Jayson Tatum, who returned to the court after a ten-month hiatus due to a ruptured Achilles tendon. The Boston winger scored 15 points, along with 12 rebounds and seven assists in 27 minutes of play.
Boston achieved victory with a confident performance in the second half, and the most efficient player for the home team was Jaylen Brown with 24 points, while Derrick White added 20.
The Celtics thus recorded a convincing triumph, but Vučević's injury cast a shadow over the match for the home team.
