Records Double-Double in Traumatic Return to Madison Square Garden

Jayson Tatum returned to the site of his previous Achilles injury on Thursday, recording 24 points, 13 rebounds, and eight assists in a 112-106 loss to the Knicks. Though he shot just 7-of-22 from the field and 2-of-10 from deep, Tatum played 40 minutes and described the experience of walking off the MSG court healthy as a success. He remains focused on helping the Celtics secure the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference as the regular season nears its conclusion.
