Jayson Tatum (ankle) will not be in the lineup on Wednesday against the Phoenix Suns. Earlier in the day, the team upgraded Tatum's status from doubtful to questionable, but he has now been officially ruled out. This will mark his fourth absence this month. With Tatum unavailable,
Al Horford will likely receive an opportunity to start, while the rest of the first unit gets a boost in usage on the offensive end. Horford's numbers have slightly increased across the board as a starter, as he has averaged 9.6 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 2.4 assists.

Jayson Tatum (ankle) has been tagged as doubtful for Wednesday's matchup against
Kevin Durant and the Phoenix Suns. The Celtics star sprained his left ankle on Monday against the Sacramento Kings, exiting the action after logging only 25 minutes. It appears he will miss at least one contest due to the injury. The rest of Boston's big guns are completely healthy heading into Wednesday, so we can expect
Jaylen Brown,
Derrick White, and
Kristaps Porzingis to lead the offense.
Al Horford is likely to step into the starting five if Tatum is ruled out.

1 week agoAccording to Justin Turpin of WEEI.com, Boston Celtics forward
Jayson Tatum (knee) won't play against the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday. Tatum will be sidelined due to right knee tendinopathy. As the playoffs approach, the 27-year-old star forward has begun sitting out games this month to manage his knee injury. With
Jaylen Brown (knee) already out, players like
Al Horford and
Sam Hauser will see an uptick in playing time. Horford should now be added to the Celtics starting lineup for this evening's matchup.
