Aron Baynes Injury: Celtics Big Man Suffers Broken Left Hand Vs. Suns

UPDATE: 8:30 p.m. ET: Aron Baynes will be out of the Celtics’ lineup for a little bit.

The Athletic’s Shams Charania gave an expected timetable.

ORIGINAL STORY: BOSTON –The injury bug has not been kind to the Boston Celtics this season, and the trend continued Wednesday night.

Aron Baynes left the C’s tilt with the Phoenix Suns at TD Garden just two minutes into the first quarter after going for a ball. He visibly was in pain after the play and went back to the locker room with the Celtics’ trainer.

Boston issued an update before the conclusion of the opening 12 minutes:

It’s certainly a blow to the Celtics, who already are without Marcus Morris (knee) and Al Horford (knee).

Robert Williams replaced Baynes with 9:56 left in the first.
