The Celtics will play against the Brooklyn Nets without both Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, marking the first such absence this season. Brown is out due to a knee injury, and Tatum was ruled out just before the game. The team has struggled to have their ideal starting lineup on the court together, having played only 300 minutes across 20 games. Despite securing a playoff spot, Tatum has expressed reluctance to sit out games, emphasizing the importance of being present for fans, especially in road games.
For the first time this season, the Celtics will take on an opponent without both Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown on the hardwood.
While the Celtics have all but locked up the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference ahead of the postseason, Tatum acknowledged over the weekend that he's still stubborn when it comes to taking nights off.
