Jared Sullinger dealing with the flu bug
Jared Sullinger - F - Boston Celtics

Jared Sullinger is dealing with the flu, but he'll play on Friday against the Sixers.

Sullinger was sick on Wednesday, and it's expected to carry over into Friday. Doc Rivers praised the rookie's ability for his ability to "throw his body around" beneath the basket as well as his basketball IQ, but he's only eclipsed 20 minutes of playing time in one game since November 21. It's worth noting that Sullinger has five blocks over his last two games, but until he gets more consistent playing time, just keep an eye on him.
