Jayson Tatum (shoulder) expected to return for Celtics Thursday
Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (sore right shoulder) practiced on Wednesday and is expected to play on Thursday versus the Sacramento Kings.
What It Means:
Celtics head coach Brad Stevens says Tatum is fine, so it looks like it will only be a one-game absence. Jaylen Brown drew the start on Monday in Tatum's place.
Tatum is averaging 30.5 FanDuel points through 67 games, with 16.1 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.1 steals, 0.8 blocks, and 1.5 triples per contest.
