Will Jayson Tatum play tonight vs. 76ers in Game 7?
The latest on Jayson Tatum after the Boston Celtics star left briefly earlier in the NBA playoff series.
Jayson Tatum's comeback from his torn Achilles has been absolutely remarkable, with the Boston Celtics superstar looking like his old MVP-level self. But in the Game 6 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers , the forward left the game in the third quarter and did not ultimately return with what appeared to be a calf issue. So: Will he play in Game 7 on Saturday?
The answer is: It looks that way. The Celtics reported no injuries ahead of Saturday (see below) and ESPN's Shams Charania had said on Friday that Tatum was totally fine. Barring any last-minute news before the game, seems like he'll be good to go with no issues.
