Amazing: Celtics’ top player might not be able to play in the game against the Nets on Wednesday.
One Celtics player is coming back to play, but another might not be able to play in Wednesday’s game. The Nets’ last game before the All-Star break.
The Boston Celtics won against the Brooklyn Nets at Barclays Center on Tuesday night with a score of 118-110. It was their second-to-last game before the All-Star break.
Jayson Tatum scored 31 points in the first half and kept making the other team pay for trying to make him pass the ball. He always tries to make the best moves and prioritizes winning, and this was the latest example of that.
The old Duke basketball player scored at least 40 points, got 14 rebounds, made five three-pointers, got five assists, and made two steals. He’s the fifth player in NBA history to do all of that in one game. He is the only one who did it with less than three mistakes, according to Max Lederman of NBC Sports Boston.
Let’s wait and see what Tatum has planned for the second half of the game against the Nets.
Having Kristaps Porzingis back in the lineup will be good for the three-time All-NBA selection, especially since he missed the last game because of a back injury. The Miami Heat played on Super Bowl Sunday.
This is especially true if Jaylen Brown is not able to play. The player who has been an All-Star three times scored 19 points and had four assists in Brooklyn. But he might not be able to play at TD Garden on Wednesday because he has a hurt shoulder.
The hosts have said that Al Horford won’t be playing because he has a sprained left big toe and doesn’t play in two games in a row.
New players Xavier Tillman and Jaden Springer won’t be playing either. The first one can’t do much because of a problem with their left knee. The second one has a problem with their right ankle.
Giving them more time to learn the Celtics’ strategies and what they will be expected to do on the court before they play for the team is also a good thing.
