The Boston Celtics are on the verge of a historic collapse vs. the Philadelphia 76ers in their Eastern Conference first-round playoff series and to make matters worse, superstar Jayson Tatum suffered a leg injury in Game 6 on Thursday night.

The good news though, is that Tatum should be good to go for Game 7 on Saturday night.

Tatum said following Thursday's loss that he expects to play in the do-or-die contest and ESPN senior NBA insider Shams Charania echoed those sentiments during an appearance on "Get Up" Friday morning.

"@ShamsCharania gives an update on Jayson Tatum's availability for Game 7," the official account for "Get Up" posted on X.

"It's positive right now. Everyone in Boston is downplaying anything with Jayson Tatum, that this was even an injury," Charania said. "I'm told that Jayson Tatum told some teammates after the game he's fine (and) he's good to go. So, I think the expectation in Boston is Game 7, Jayson Tatum is all good."
