Boston Celtics backup big man Daniel Theis is out indefinitely after suffering a tear of the plantar fascia in his right foot, the team announced on Monday.
The 26-year-old from Germany scored a season-high 17 points (on 7-for-9 shooting) with eight rebounds in 19 minutes during the Celtics’ win over the Detroit Pistons on Saturday.
Theis is averaging 6.0 points and 3.4 rebounds in 12.3 minutes over his first five games of the season.
