Jayson Tatum is back, folks. He’s officially listed as questionable for Friday night’s home game against the Mavericks, but let’s face it, he’s back. The Celtics upgraded JT for the first time this season on Thursday’s injury report, and Shams Charania of ESPN reported that Tatum will play this season and that the expectation is that he’ll make his season debut on Friday night.
Charania went on to say that Tatum has been fully cleared and that he’s ready to go. The final step is just a matter of Jayson informing the Celtics and making it official ahead of the game.
