Derrick White has been added to the Boston Celtics injury report, which no longer includes Jayson Tatum. Due to a non-Covid-related illness, Tatum was previously listed as probable going into Friday’s game against the Orlando Magic. After being cleared, the All-NBA forward had trouble against the Magic. Some people questioned whether he was just playing the sickness off.
He performed significantly better on Sunday against the Atlanta Hawks. After finishing with 34 points, nine rebounds, four assists, and two steals in 39 minutes, Tatum was back to his usual lethal self. With an 11–25 shooting effort, including a 5–13 three-pointer, he helped the Celtics win 113–103.
Jayson Tatum was questioned about whether he was still affected by the illness after the game. In response, the four-time All-Star said he was good and ready for the Chicago Bulls game on Tuesday.
Derrick White is coping with a non-Covid-related illness, just like Tatum. The extremely resilient combo guard is listed as probable in the injury report. But he’s probably going to play for Boston against the Bulls.
From his acquisition in February 2022, White has appeared in 162 of the Boston Celtics’ 165 games, including the playoffs. His first game was missed when his first child was born. He was unable to play for the team for the next two games due to the birth of his second child.
When he misses his first game with the Celtics for a reason other than his wife giving birth will be interesting to watch.
When the Boston Celtics play the Chicago Bulls, Jayson Tatum and Derrick White will be key players.
Kristaps Porzingis won’t be available for the Boston Celtics’ Tuesday game against the Chicago Bulls. Due to a right ankle sprain, Jrue Holiday has missed the team’s last two games and is now considered questionable. If Holiday is unable to play, Boston will be a little thin on players.
Due to injuries, Derrick White and Jayson Tatum will need to contribute more for the team. Al Horford, Jaylen Brown, and the rest of the team need to do the same in order to defeat the Bulls in a pivotal NBA In-Season Tournament match.
Although Chicago is already out of the competition, a victory or a defeat will still be added to their regular-season record. If Boston defeats the Bulls, however, they still have a chance to advance to the quarterfinals.
For the Celtics to have a chance to win the game, Derrick White and Jayson Tatum will be crucial players. In addition to their offensive responsibilities, they will also need to fulfill their defensive obligations. Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan, two of the Chicago Bulls’ best players, will be guarded alternately by Tatum and White.
