The Celtics have added Jayson Tatum to the injury report on Saturday due to left knee soreness, and he is now questionable for Game 7 against the 76ers.

If Tatum can't give it a go, here are two players who are going to need to step up in his absence. Derrick White White hasn't had the best performance in this series, but that could all change with a standout showing on Saturday. Heading into Game 6 on Thursday, he was averaging 8.

8 points, 3. 8 rebounds and 3. 5 assists per game.

However, he struggled in Game 6, recording just 11 points, one rebound and one assist, which limited his impact on the court. Although White and Tatum occupy different positions, when Tatum is off the court, White must rise to the occasion as the No. 2 scorer alongside Jaylen Brown.
