Boston Celtics star forward Jayson Tatum has entered the NBA’s health and safety protocols, giving the Celtics 9 players on the list, although 13 players entered the COVID-19 protocols just last week, according to ESPN.
Tatum tested positive for COVID-19 last season and he detailed the effects that lingered following his return to action.
Tatum leads the Celtics in scoring with 25.6 points per game, and rebounds with 8.6 rebounds per game. Boston has dropped six of their last nine games and will take on the Minnesota Timberwolves before embarking on a four-game homestand.
