Joe Mazzulla on what Jayson Tatum showed us in Celtics' preseason Sixers blowout
The St. Louis native went a long way toward allaying lingering health concerns from how last season ended.
Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum, who returned from an Achilles tendon injury last season, showcased his resilience and skill in the Celtics' 144-106 rout of the Philadelphia 76ers on Saturday, October 10 at TD Garden. Coach Joe Mazzulla praised Tatum's performance, highlighting his efficiency on both ends of the court. Tatum contributed 23 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists, demonstrating his ability to create opportunities for his teammates.
Mazzulla noted that Tatum's defensive activity, decision making, and cardio all looked good during the competitive portion of the exhibition game. This strong showing from Tatum helps alleviate concerns about his health and readiness for the upcoming season.
