Rotowire
Tatum (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Nets, Taylor Snow of the Celtics' official site reports.

Celtics' Jayson Tatum: Iffy for Saturday
Rotowire
Tatum is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Nets due to right knee tendinopathy, Justin Turpin of WEEI.com reports.
Tatum is in danger of missing Saturday's contest after logging 37 minutes in the first leg of Boston's back-to-back against Miami. If Tatum is ultimately forced to sit out due to his knee issue, Sam Hauser will likely receive increased playing time.
Tatum notched 28 points (8-21 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 7-7 FT), four rebounds, five assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Friday's 103-91 victory over the Heat.
Tatum was sharp from three-point range, but he went only 3-for-9 on two-point shots, and this wasn't his most efficient outing. Still, the star forward is able to make things happen even when he's not at his best, and in a way, that's the true definition of being a superstar player. The numbers back Tatum up, and it's been proven time and time again that he's able to put up excellent stat lines even when he struggles with efficiency. He's averaging 30.4 points, 8.4 rebounds and 6.0 assists per game in five outings since the beginning of March.
