Jayson Tatum Latest News
Officially ruled out
Tatum (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Magic, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports. Tatum was removed from the starting lineup and added to the injury report just minutes before Monday's tipoff due to illness. While he never joined the Celtics' bench, the team waited until halftime to officially rule him out. Al Horford, Sam Hauser and Luke Kornet should continue to see more action while Tatum is unavailable. Tatum's next chance to play will come Wednesday against Philadelphia.
Removed from starting lineup
Tatum (illness) is no longer part of the starting lineup for Monday's game against Orlando but remains questionable, Jason Beede of the Orlando Sentinel reports. Tatum was added to the Celtics' injury report minutes before the game's scheduled tipoff and is no longer part of the starting lineup. He's yet to be ruled out, but it appears as though Tatum won't take the floor Monday. Al Horford stepped into the first unit in place of Tatum. Sam Hauser and Xavier Tillman could also see an expanded role if Tatum doesn't play.
Late add to injury report
Tatum is now questionable for Monday's game against the Magic due to illness, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports. Tatum is feeling under the weather and is now at risk of missing Monday's contest. Should he be held out, Sam Hauser, Al Horford and Xavier Tillman could see more minutes.
Makes Celtics history in huge game
Tatum finished Saturday's 123-98 victory over the Bulls with 43 points (16-24 FG, 9-15 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 16 rebounds and 10 assists across 36 minutes. Per Zack Cox of the Boston Herald, Tatum became the first player in the storied history of the Celtics to produce a 40-point, 15-board, 10-assist line. The triple-double was his first of the season and the third of his career, continuing a hot streak that has seen Tatum deliver at least a double-double in six straight appearances even though he's been tending to knee tendinitis during that time. Over that stretch, the 26-year-old MVP candidate has averaged 28.5 points, 12.0 boards, 5.7 assists and 3.8 threes.
31 points not enough in loss
Tatum registered 31 points (10-22 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 7-9 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and two steals across 37 minutes during Thursday's 117-108 loss to the Bulls. Tatum's team-high 31 points were not enough as the Celtics fell in Thursday's upset loss, but it was his 13th game with 30 points already this season. Over his last 13 games, Tatum is averaging a robust 27.0 points, 10.5 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 0.8 steals and 3.5 three-pointers per contest. The 26-year-old superstar forward will get another favorable matchup in Saturday's meeting with these same Bulls, who rank 29th in the NBA in points allowed per game (121.4).
Double-double in Sunday return
Tatum contributed 28 points (12-26 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds and two assists over 35 minutes during Sunday's 112-98 win over the Wizards. The 26-year-old forward missed the Celtics' prior game and two of the previous four while dealing with a sore right knee. However, Tatum looked pretty healthy Sunday as he delivered his 12th double-double of the season, including four straight and five in his last six appearances. If there's evidence that Tatum is not at 100 percent right now, it's coming at the defensive end of the court, as he's gone three straight games without recording either a steal or a block -- an uncharacteristic dry spell for a player who's averaged at least 1.0 steals a game every season of his career.
Available to face Washington
Tatum (knee) is not on the injury report and will be available for Saturday's game against the Wizards, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports. Tatum missed the 123-99 win over the Pistons on Thursday due to right patella tendinopathy, but the star forward will be available to return Sunday and should handle his regular workload. Tatum has been one of the most productive forwards in fantasy and should take advantage of a favorable matchup against the Wizards. He's averaging 25.6 points, 10.5 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game over his last 10 appearances.
Won't play against Detroit
Tatum (knee) is out for Thursday's game versus the Pistons, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports. Tatum has been downgraded from questionable to out Thursday due to right patella tendinopathy. Al Horford will likely receive increased playing time in his absence. Tatum's next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with Washington.
Added to injury report
Tatum is questionable for Thursday's game against Detroit due to right patella tendinopathy. Tatum has been featured on the injury report throughout the past week due to ongoing knee inflammation, and he's at risk of missing his second contest of the season due to the issue. The only other members of Boston's key rotation dealing with injuries are Al Horford (toe) and Sam Houser (adductor).
