Tatum Expects to Play Game 7 Despite Exiting Game 6 With Leg Injury

Jayson Tatum provided a positive update following the Celtics' 106-93 Game 6 loss to the 76ers, stating he expects to play in Saturday's decisive Game 7 despite exiting early. Tatum left for the locker room in the third quarter and did not return due to leg stiffness. While his departure raised concerns, the star forward downplayed the severity. His resilience returning from an Achilles injury was recently cited by NFL coach Kyle Shanahan as a model, a trait Boston relies on for Game 7.
