Jayson Tatum: Breaking News

Won't play versus Orlando

Tatum (Achilles) is listed as out for Sunday's game against Orlando, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports. Tatum will miss a second consecutive contest. However, with the Celtics locked into the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference, the team is getting ready for the postseason, likely meaning the entire starting lineup won't be available. Without Tatum on the floor, Jordan Walsh, who has started in Boston's last two games, is expected to remain with the first five.

Resting Friday

Tatum (Achilles) won't play Friday against the Pelicans, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports. Tatum tallied 24 points (7-22 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 8-10 FT), 13 rebounds, eight assists, one steal and one block across 40 minutes in Thursday's 112-106 loss to the Knicks, but he'll take a seat for the second half of Boston's back-to-back set Friday for injury management purposes. In his absence, Baylor Scheierman, Jordan Walsh and Hugo Gonzalez are candidates for increased roles, especially if Jaylen Brown (Achilles) remains out.

Sniffs triple-double in loss

Tatum tallied 24 points (7-22 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 8-10 FT), 13 rebounds, eight assists, one steal and one block across 40 minutes in Thursday's 112-106 loss to the Knicks. Although he struggled with efficiency, Tatum stuffed the stat sheet in his return to Madison Square Garden. The star forward logged a season-high 40 minutes en route to a team-high 24 points, and he has now reached the 20-point mark in seven straight games. The Duke product also grabbed a game-best 13 rebounds and led Boston in assists. Tatum has yet to be cleared to play both halves of back-to-back sets and is expected to sit out Friday's game against the Pelicans.
