Why Jayson Tatum isn't playing for Celtics vs. 76ers with new injury update

The 2-3 Boston Celtics have missed Jayson Tatum’s presence to open the 2025-26 season.

The Duke product’s near-unstoppable off-the-dribble scoring arsenal (hesitation pull-ups, change-of-pace downhill drives, predictable, yet highly effective side-step threes) helped the Celtics win a championship in 2024.

The Celtics were in good shape to repeat as champions last year until Tatum suffered an injury that many view as career-altering.

As a result, Tatum is out of Boston’s lineup for its upcoming game against the Philadelphia 76ers and beyond.
