Head coach Joe Mazzulla said Tatum “came in today with knee discomfort.”
“We decided – the medical team and myself – for him not to play,” Mazzulla said.
Mazzulla did not share who would start in Tatum’s place. As big a hit as his absence will be, the Celtics have plenty of experience without him in the lineup. He missed most of the regular season after tearing his right Achilles tendon last May.
“A couple of identities that we had throughout the season,” Mazzulla said, “we’ll lean on today.”
Baylor Scheierman and Jordan Walsh are the most likely candidates to soak up most of Tatum’s minutes.
