The Celtics announced Sunday forward Jared Sullinger will miss the remainder of the season with a fracture in his foot.

Sullinger suffered a left metatarsal stress fracture in his foot. He had been experiencing pain in his foot, but was hoping it was just a sprain. After further medical testing, the fracture was revealed.

In 51 games, Sullinger is averaging 14.4 points and 8.1 rebounds. Forward Brandon Bass will likely see his minutes increase with Sullinger sidelined for the remainder of the season.

Coach Brad Stevens said surgery is not expected to be needed to fix the injury, the team announced.
