San Jose Sharks provide upbeat update on Macklin Celebrini

SAN JOSE — Injured center Macklin Celebrini appeared as spry as ever Thursday morning as he rejoined the San Jose Sharks for on-ice drills, but it remains unclear when the 18-year-old wunderkind will be ready to play again.

Celebrini has not played since the Sharks’ season opener on Oct. 10, when he had a goal and an assist against the St. Louis Blues in his dazzling NHL debut. However, he had a recurrence of a hip issue that he had dealt with since training camp that night and was placed on injured reserve by the Sharks on Oct.
