Yeah—it’s official. Jayson Tatum is out for Game 7.
Here’s what we know right now:
- He’s been ruled out due to left knee stiffness
- The injury flared up after he left Game 6 early and didn’t return
- This is a win-or-go-home Game 7 vs. the Philadelphia 76ers, making it a massive blow for Boston
This is huge because:
- Tatum has been Boston’s engine all series (around 23 / 10 / 6 in the playoffs)
- Now the offensive load shifts heavily to Jaylen Brown and the supporting cast
Quick reality check:
Without Tatum, the Boston Celtics go from favorites to very vulnerable. Game 7 becomes way more open—especially with Philly already having momentum.
