Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum will be sitting out Wednesday’s game against the Phoenix Suns due to a left ankle sprain. This decision comes after Tatum was previously listed as questionable and then upgraded to doubtful. The injury occurred during Monday night’s game against the Sacramento Kings when Tatum’s left ankle landed on an opponent’s foot following a made 3-pointer. Despite the injury, Tatum managed to score 25 points before exiting the game.
Tatum’s absence could have an impact on the Suns’ play-in positioning as they currently find themselves in the 10th seed in the Western Conference with 10 games left in the regular season. Phoenix is in a tight race with the Sacramento Kings and the Dallas Mavericks for a play-in spot. The Suns are on a four-game winning streak with Kevin Durant playing exceptionally well.
Meanwhile, Phoenix guard Bradley Beal is also sidelined with a left hamstring strain, missing the past four games. The Suns will face off against the Celtics on Wednesday night, with tipoff scheduled for 7 p.m. Arizona time. Fans can catch the game on the Arizona Sports app, 98.7, and ArizonaSports.com.
The Celtics will need to rely on their depth in the absence of Tatum as they aim to secure a victory over the Suns and improve their standing in the Eastern Conference. Stay tuned for updates on Tatum’s recovery and his potential return to the court.
