The Celtics make changes to their lineup on Monday, as Jaylen Brown returns to the court and Jayson Tatum sits.

The former Boston assistant was impressed with Tatum's game vs. Charlotte.

The NBA announced Jayson Tatum was named Player of the Week in the East, news coming after the Boston Celtics announced a new injury update.

The Jayson Tatum-led Boston Celtics made a small, yet interesting roster move last Wednesday. The 2024 NBA champions are giving a former Golden State Warriors G-League star another opportunity to showcase his skills in Boston via a second 10-day contract.

In just his 11th game back from his own Achilles injury, Tatum scored 32 points on 12-of-23 shooting with eight assists and five rebounds in the C’s 114-99 road win that secured their 12th-straight postseason berth. It was also the first time this campaign Tatum eclipsed the 30-point milestone, something he accomplished 28 times last season.

Jayson Tatum has been an absolute tear now that he’s back to full strength. The Boston Celtics superstar missed the majority of the regular season as he recovered from a torn Achilles tendon in the NBA playoffs last year.

Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum was named the Eastern Conference Player of the Week for the first time since Jan. 6, 2025.

After snapping the Oklahoma City Thunder’s 12-game win streak and beating an Atlanta Hawks squad that had won 14 of 15, the Celtics knocked off another of the NBA’s hottest teams Sunday in Charlotte — and did so

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — With 5:57 remaining against the Charlotte Hornets, Jayson Tatum sized up forward Miles Bridges at the top of the key, used a ball fake to get the defender off balanced for just a moment and then quickly rose up and buried a 3-pointer without hesitation.

The Celtics got plenty of promising developments on Sunday night in the race for the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference. Boston not only took care of business against the Hornets on the road but also got a comfortable 114-99 win while playing without Jaylen Brown (Achilles),
