Jayson Tatum not playing for Celtics on Friday in Orlando due to groin strain
Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (groin strain) will not play on Friday against the Orlando Magic.
What It Means:
Tatum went to the locker room in the third quarter of Wednesday's win over the Memphis Grizzlies. He said he "feels better" and is day-to-day. Jaylen Brown (ankle) remains questionable, so Marcus Smart and Semi Ojeleye could both draw starts.
Per numberFire's NBA Heat Map, the Celtics-Magic game has the lowest over/under on Friday's 11-game slate.
