The Boston Celtics were defeated by the Philadelphia 76ers, 106-93, in Game 6 on Wednesday, setting the stage for a winner-takes-all Game 7 on Saturday night.
Boston's biggest concern heading into Game 7 is the status of forward Jayson Tatum, who left Thursday's loss in the second half with a leg issue, but that doesn't seem likely to keep him out on Saturday.
The Celtics released their injury report on Friday and indicated there are no injuries, meaning Tatum should be ready to play in Game 7.
Boston leaving Tatum off the injury report is fantastic news, as it suggests his injury isn't anything to worry about. If he had been included in the report, there might have been something to be cautious about. However, his complete exclusion indicates he should be at 100%.
Of course, everyone felt a bit anxious when they saw Tatum leaving with an injury, especially since he tore his Achilles tendon around this same time last year, but it will be interesting to see how he plays and if any lingering issues come up again.
