Is Jayson Tatum Playing Tonight Vs The Hornets? Celtics Superstar’s Availability Report Amidst Illness

Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics have consistently been one of the NBA’s top teams throughout this 2022-23 season as they post a 39-16 record ahead of their matchup against the Charlotte Hornets. Unlike a lot of other teams across the league however, they were surprisingly quiet during this year’s trade deadline. 

The Celts are essentially a lock for the Playoffs at this point given their system. In fact, it would be quite the surprise if they weren’t a homecourt advantage squad come postseason time. So, with Jaylen Brown out due to a facial injury he suffered at the hands of Jayson Tatum in-game, the Celts can rest easy in terms of their standings. 

As for Tatum’s availability, this is up in the air going into Boston’s upcoming game against the Charlotte Hornets.
