Jayson Tatum’s improvement bodes well for Celtics in Game 4 vs. 76ers Jayson Tatum has only been back on the court for seven-plus weeks but the Boston Celtics star is making a stellar impact. While putting last May’s devastating ruptured right Achilles tendon further in the rearview mirror, Tatum’s comeback story is reading superbly. He will look to help Boston
Backcourt play re-energizes Spurs against Blazers heading into Game 4 Guards Stephon Castle and Dylan Harper helped the San Antonio Spurs overcome the absence of Victor Wembanyama and regain the upper hand in their Western Conference first-round series against the Portland Trail Blazers.
