Sharks rookie center Macklin Celebrini will miss at least another two weeks.
That’s according to Sharks general manager Mike Grier, who says the team will issue a Celebrini update in two weeks. He did confirm that it was a hip injury.

Two weeks takes Celebrini off the board for the Sharks' upcoming four-game road trip, which ends Oct. 28 in Utah. Two weeks from Monday is Nov. 4.
So could Celebrini be ready to play by the next game after that, Nov. 5 against the Columbus Blue Jackets?
Grier didn’t rule it out, but he also did not suggest that two weeks was any kind of target date.
“We’ll have to kind of see how the rehab goes, and the evaluation goes," Grier said. "We’ll just give it those two weeks to see where he’s at. Maybe he’s ready to go. Maybe he’s not. I can’t really answer how his body’s gonna respond to everything.”
