Celtics star Jayson Tatum is set to return to the team for the upcoming game against the Washington Wizards after being left off the injury report. Tatum had previously sat out of the previous game due to a right ruptured Achilles injury, but is currently playing on a minutes restriction as he gradually returns to competition. The team's management plan for Tatum has been described as "injury management" and focuses on the player's best interests. The rest of the team's injury report includes Baylor Scheierman (right ankle sprain) and Derrick White (right knee contusion), but Nikola Vucevic (right ring finger fracture) remains out.
