Celtics' Tyler Zeller: Practices Friday

Zeller (illness) practiced in full Friday, Scott Souza of the Providence Journal reports.

Analysis:

Zeller has been sidelined since Dec. 29 due to an illness that saw him hospitalized at one point, but it sounds like he's finally close to making his return. With a full practice Friday, Zeller is seemingly just a shootaround attendance away from being cleared to play in Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers. Given that he's missed nine straight games and is averaging just 12.1 minutes this season, Zeller's role will likely be limited once he's available again, but his impending return would at least provide a boost to the Celtics' depth up front.
