Jayson Tatum Injury Update: Is Tatum Playing Tonight vs. 76ers in Game 7?
Jayson Tatum is fully expected to play tonight vs. the 76ers in Game 7.
Tatum left the Game 6 loss with four minutes remaining in the third quarter and later returned to the bench with ice around his left calf. He spent most of the fourth quarter on an exercise bike in the tunnel, but he downplayed the issue after the game and said he expected to play in Game 7.
Tatum said the stiffness was in his left leg, not the right leg tied to last year’s Achilles injury.
On Friday, the Celtics got more clarity. Tatum was not listed on the Game 7 injury report, and Mazzulla confirmed that Tatum would play.
So, unless something changes closer to lock, Tatum is good to go for Celtics vs. 76ers.
