He's playing tonight ... right?
While Jayson Tatum's long-awaited return for the Boston Celtics is widely believed to be on the menu for Friday night at TD Garden, the Celtics' latest injury report released shortly after 11 a.m. ET didn't provide surety.
Tatum was listed as questionable on the report, along with a questionable Jordan Walsh, who is reportedly sick.

Tatum, 28, tore his right Achilles tendon 288 days ago, on May 12, 2025, against the New York Knicks in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
The six-time All-Star has had a stellar rehab over the past ten months, putting himself in incredible position to return to the Celtics and bolster their stretch run.
