Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum has been ruled out for Game 7 against the Philadelphia 76ers because of left knee stiffness.
Tatum was a late addition to the Celtics’ injury report on Saturday, raising uncertainty about his availability ahead of the decisive game. The team has now confirmed he will not be available for the matchup.
The absence removes one of Boston’s key players from the lineup in an elimination setting against Philadelphia. Tatum’s status had become a major focus after he appeared on the injury report so close to game time.
Decisive Game Without Tatum
Game 7 will determine which team advances, and the Celtics will have to proceed without Tatum as they face the 76ers. His unavailability due to left knee stiffness is the only injury detail provided by the team.
