The Philadelphia 76ers face the Boston Celtics in Game 7 of a first-round NBA playoff series. See when the Sixers play next.
Jayson Tatum will be available Saturday for Game 7 against the 76ers, Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla confirmed. “He’ll play,” Mazzulla said Friday in a conference call with reporters. Hours later, the Celtics announced they had “no injuries to report” ahead of their winner-take-all matchup at TD Garden.

Jayson Tatum said he felt stiffness in his left leg during Game 6, causing him to be pulled with four minutes left in the third quarter.
