Jayson Tatum <\/a>will not play during Thursday night\u2019s matchup with the Thunder, the Celtics<\/a> announced via an injury report. <\/a><\/p>\nTatum is still managing the right Achilles injury that caused him to miss the bulk of the regular season. This will be the first game he has missed since returning against the Mavericks on Friday.<\/p>\n
Tatum has played exactly 27 minutes in all three games since his return. He has said publicly that he\u2019s on a minutes restriction. He is averaging 19.7 points, but he is shooting 39.3 percent from the field. He is also shooting just 29 percent from 3-point range.<\/p>\n
Tatum has shown flashes of scoring ability, but his jumpshot and overall leaping ability both need work. He has yet to block a shot this season, and his rebounding numbers have taken a dip since he grabbed 12 in his return.<\/p>\n\n\n\nInjury Report Update:<\/p>\n

Jayson Tatum \u2013 Right Achilles Injury Management \u2013 OUT
