Vucevic was injured in the first quarter of Friday night's game against Dallas when Mavericks forward Khris Middleton swiped at the ball. He left the game, which Boston won 120-100 in Jayson Tatum's return from an Achilles tendon injury, and did not return.
The Celtics said on Saturday that Vucevic will be reevaluated in 3-4 weeks.
Vucevic was acquired from the Chicago Bulls last month at the trade deadline to give the Celtics depth at big man. The 35-year-old Montenegrin averaged 10.4 points and 21.7 minutes in 12 games with Boston.
