According to Justin Turpin of WEEI.com, Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (knee) won't play against the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday. Tatum will be sidelined due to right knee tendinopathy. As the playoffs approach, the 27-year-old star forward has begun sitting out games this month to manage his knee injury. With Jaylen Brown (knee) already out, players like Al Horford and Sam Hauser will see an uptick in playing time. Horford should now be added to the Celtics starting lineup for this evening's matchup.
Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. As the playoffs approach, Tatum has begun sitting out games this month to manage a knee injury and might also miss Tuesday's matchup. With Jaylen Brown (knee) already sidelined, players like Kristaps Porzingis, Derrick White, and Payton Pritchard may be asked to carry the offense. Additionally, Al Horford is expected to enter the starting lineup if Tatum is unavailable.
Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (knee) will play in Friday's contest against the Miami Heat. Tatum is dealing with right knee tendinopathy, but his status has been upgraded from questionable to available. With Jaylen Brown (knee) absent from the lineup on Friday, we could see something special from Tatum, who has increased his scoring output in games without Brown this season to 30.5 points. With Boston back in action on Saturday against the Brooklyn Nets, we might see Brown returning and Tatum sitting out, which would then boost Brown's offensive usage.
Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (knee) is questionable for Friday's matchup with the Heat. The 27-year-old missed the March 5 win over Portland because of a shoulder injury. He returned for the following two games before getting ruled out ahead of Monday's meeting with Utah because of a knee injury. Tatum was out there for Boston's most recent contest, which was a 118-112 loss to OKC. While he was back on the injury report heading into that one, he still finished with 33 points, a team-high. Boston will play the Nets on Saturday, so there's a chance Tatum may get a night off. The Celtics also listed Kristaps Porzingis (illness), Jaylen Brown (knee), and Derrick White (knee) on the injury report. With that in mind, Payton Pritchard, Sam Hauser, and Jrue Holiday may see more looks at the basket.
Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (knee) has been cleared to return to the lineup on Wednesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. An issue with his right knee kept Tatum on the sidelines when Boston hosted the Utah Jazz on Monday. Tatum has produced a couple of 40-point efforts in his most recent appearances and averages a 30-point, 10-rebound double-double for the month. With Tatum back in the lineup, Sam Hauser will likely be pushed back to the bench.
Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against OKC. He wasn't available for the March 5 win over the Portland Trail Blazers because of a shoulder injury. But after playing in the following two contests, the 27-year-old wasn't on the floor for Monday's win over the Utah Jazz because of a right knee issue. The C's have won their last five games, so the team would certainly love to keep it going versus one of the top clubs in the National Basketball Association. With Kristaps Porzingis (illness) also questionable, Boston may lean on Jaylen Brown (knee), who is probable, and Derrick White to lead the way offensively. Sam Hauser, who had a team-high 33 points on Monday night, would presumably remain in the starting lineup if Tatum can't go. Of course, Hauser may have a tough time staying as potent on the scoring end, with the Thunder allowing only 106.9 points per game during the 2024-25 campaign, the second-best mark in the league.
Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (knee) won't play on Monday against Utah. He didn't suit up for the March 5 win over the Portland Trail Blazers because of a shoulder issue. But this time, he'll sit out because of a knee injury. Kristaps Porzingis (illness) and Al Horford (toe) are also out, so, Sam Hauser, averaging 10.3 points and 4.0 rebounds in 12 starts this season, will likely roll with the first five. Derrick White, Payton Pritchard, and Jaylen Brown will likely do most of the heavy lifting on the offensive end.
Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (knee) drew a questionable tag on Monday's injury report for their game against the Utah Jazz. He continues to deal with right knee tendinopathy, and could receive a day off since the Jazz are one of the worst teams in the league. If he's unable to play, Payton Pritchard could join the starting five while Derrick White plays more of a forward role. Sam Hauser and Luke Kornet would also see a bump in opportunities with Al Horford (toe) also listed as questionable. Pritchard would be the best of this group as he's having the best season of his career with 14.3 points, 3.5 assists, 3.8 rebounds, and 3.3 threes per game.

Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports that Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (shoulder) won't play against the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday. The superstar forward is dealing with a right shoulder impingement that he picked up on Sunday against the Nuggets and he has still nearly posted a triple-double in the contest.
