Is Jayson Tatum playing tonight against Suns? Latest on Celtics superstar's availability after injury blow (Mar. 26)

Jayson Tatum is ruled "out" from the Boston Celtics' game against the Phoenix Suns on Monday. The superstar forward was seen in visible pain during the Celtics' previous game against the Sacramento Kings after his left foot collided with Domantas Sabonis' foot.

Tatum was helped off the court and immediately went to the locker room, not returning to the game. His night ended after he had posted 25 points in 26 minutes. Fortunately, the injury turned out to be less severe than it seemed as the Paris Olympics gold medalist was later seen joking with teammates and wearing sneakers on both feet in the locker room.

The Celtics forward left the arena later that night without crutches or a boot, only showing a slight limp. Tatum also made an appearance on the New Heights podcast, where he reassured fans, stating that he is doing fine.

"I’m feeling good man. There’s a few benefits to being 27. You know, you recover a little bit faster. I’ll be alright," Tatum said.

Based on Jayson Tatum's comments, it wouldn't be surprising if he takes the court on Wednesday to face Kevin Durant and the Suns. The Celtics are firing on all cylinders, despite injuries to several key players. Under Joe Mazzulla's leadership, the team currently holds second place in the standings with a 53-19 record and is riding a six-game winning streak.
