Jayson Tatum Available To Play Wednesday
4 months agoBoston Celtics forwards Jayson Tatum (ankle) and Sam Hauser (shoulder) are not listed on the team's injury report for Wednesday's tilt versus the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Celtics are managing Tatum's workload after he sprained his left ankle back on Dec. 19, causing him to miss Monday's road loss to the Indiana Pacers, but he should be expected to take on his normal allotment of playing time on Wednesday. The 25-year-old four-time All-Star is rolling as of late, registering at least 25 points in each of his past seven outings with averages of 29.9 points, 8.6 rebounds, 5.7 assists, 4.0 three-pointers, and 1.3 steals covering this span. With each of Kristaps Porzingis (knee), Jrue Holiday (elbow), and Al Horford (illness) questionable in a stiff matchup against Minnesota (NBA-best 44.7% opponent field-goal percentage), Hauser may have to jump into Boston's starting group based on who is available.
