The Boston Celtics will take on the Phoenix Suns tonight at the TD Garden. The defending champions Celtics suffered a shock defeat at the hands of the Miami Heat the other day, losing after a spree of 9 consecutive wins. It was one of the rare days when the team's star forward, Jayson Tatum, looked out of sorts. He contributed 16 points, 3 rebounds, and 7 assists. While these are respectable figures, but for a man who is averaging 27 points per game this season, it was certainly a modest show. Tatum will be expected to return to his usual tonight, provided he features in the game. As is a pertinent figure of the Boston side, it is imperative to know his status for the game. Let's take a look at the Boston Celtics injury report to draw clarity on the subject.
