"Mazzulla said he expects Tatum to be fine. The star forward played 29 minutes in Game 6 on Sunday, his fewest of the series. He still managed a 17-point, 11-rebound double double in the loss."
"Tatum said after the game he was not too concerned about the injury and that the game was out of reach in the fourth quarter, leading to the starters being taken out."
"A Celtics win on Saturday would send them to the second-round against the Knicks, a rematch of last year's series during which Tatum suffered his Achilles injury and the Celtics were eliminated."
"This time, it's the Celtics who blew a 3-1 lead and are heading back into action following back to back losses."
Jayson Tatum is anticipated to participate in the Celtics' Game 7 against the 76ers. He experienced calf discomfort in Game 6 but expressed minimal concern about the injury. Coach Joe Mazzulla confirmed Tatum's expected return, stating he believes Tatum will be fine. Tatum played 29 minutes in Game 6, recording a double-double. A win would advance the Celtics to the second round, while a loss would end their season. The Celtics previously faced a Game 7 in 2023, where they suffered a significant defeat.
