Jaylen Brown Out, Tatum Returns for Celtics-Hawks

0:00On March 28th, Jalen Brown is sitting out the Boston Celtics game against the Atlanta Hawks on Friday night due to left Achilles tendonitis. This marks the first time this season he's missed action because of an Achilles problem. He was initially listed as questionable with calf tightness, but the update came through on Friday. Coach Joe Mozilla kept it simple when asked about the injury, calling Brown day to day and just a bit banged up. He didn't specify if it happened in Wednesday's game or had been lingering before. No word yet on how many games this might sideline him for. With Brown out, Jason Tatum returns for his first matchup without his star running me. Tatum's putting up 19.1 points, 9.2 rebounds, and 3.7 assists per game so far this season. The rest of the Celtics look good to go, including Derek White and Nehemiah's Keta, who shook off their questionable tags. Over on the Hawks side, things are mostly clean, though Jack Landale sits with the right shoulder impingement.

1:00Both teams are gearing up for a solid Eastern Conference clash. The tipoff is set for 7.30 pm on Friday, so keep an eye on how Boston adjusts without Brown in the mix. That's the story for today. Boston Celtics News Today, driven by AI.
