Jayson Tatum Doubtful Due to Lower Leg Injury for Eastern Conference Semifinals

Jayson Tatum is doubtful for the Boston Celtics in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the New York Knicks due to a lower leg injury. This injury comes after he dealt with a wrist injury earlier in the playoffs.

In the postseason, Tatum has played 8 games, averaging 28.1 points, 11.5 rebounds, and 5.4 assists per game. With Tatum's potential absence, players like Jaylen Brown and Derrick White may need to step up in his place. The game is scheduled for May 14, 2025, at TD Garden.
