Celtics Notes: Pritchard, Tatum, Brown, George
Celtics guard Payton Pritchard had to leave Wednesday’s game with a right eye abrasion that affected his vision, but the condition cleared up in time for him to play Friday night at Charlotte, writes Souichi Terada of MassLive. Pritchard has only missed five games over the past three seasons, and he’s thankful that he didn’t have to add to that total.
“It probably hurt,” Pritchard said (YouTube link). “I just couldn’t see, so my vision was very like, I don’t know how to explain it, but couldn’t track the rim when it happened and stuff. So I knew I had a problem and I had to come out. It just wasn’t coming back. Thankfully, it came back.”
