Jayson Tatum (COVID-19) ruled out again for Celtics
Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (COVID-19) will not travel to Philadelphia for Wednesday's game against the 76ers, per head coach Brad Stevens.
What It Means:
Tatum will miss a third consecutive contest. Stevens said Tatum's status for a Friday rematch against the 76ers is "to be determined." Kemba Walker made his season debut on Sunday and should help fill the void again in Wednesday's matchup. Carsen Edwards (health protocols) also won't travel to Philadelphia but Robert Williams (health protocols) is expected to return.
Kemba posted a 46.2 usage percentage over 19.6 minutes on Monday and averaged 1.0 FanDuel points per minute. numberFire's models currently project him for 25.4 FanDuel points in 24.0 minutes on Wednesday versus the 76ers.
