Solid since the start of the season, the Celtics have just learned some very bad news about Jayson Tatum. The next few weeks will not be easy to manage for Brad Stevens’ men.
Well placed on the side of the Eastern Conference, the Celtics achieve a solid start to the season despite the losses of the summer. Jayson Tatum is shining and Jaylen Brown seems to have taken a new step. All this, while Kemba Walker still has not recovered from his knee injury. The good news is that the point guard is getting closer to a comeback.
Promising for the future, even if the Celtics will have to step up a gear in the next playoffs. This is where you expect Brad Stevens’ men, and not necessarily in the regular season. Reach the top 3? This is the least of things given the goal of the franchise.
However, this exercise is very special because of the coronavirus and everything that surrounds it. No risk is taken with the health rules of the NBA, and some players are therefore forced to perform quarantines. This is the case of Kevin Durant or Michael Porter Jr… and now for Jayson Tatum.
Very fit since the start of the season, now the winger is cut in full swing. Obviously in case of contact with the virus, Tatum will have to observe a quarantine period of 10 to 14 days depending on its results. A blow for the Celtics who lose their best player for a lot of games.
Boston Celtics All-NBA star Jayson Tatum is expected to enter quarantine and miss 10-to-14 days due to COVID-19 health and safety protocols, sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium.

Big blow for the Celtics and Jayson Tatum for the next deadlines. And it is probably not over.
