I think Tatum looks fine so far. No official word but there’s nothing about this warmup that looks off to me pic.x.com/R1GvFO0o6t5:48 PM

Joe Mazzulla didn’t really have any updates on Tatum, Brown and Holiday during his pregame availability. They’ll be game-time decisions. – 5:38 PM

Joe Mazzulla said Jayson Tatum is doing whatever he can to put himself in position to play.
“He’s feeling a little better so we’ll see how it goes.” – 5:31 PM

Mosley said the substitution pattern changes based on whether Tatum and other C’s are/aren’t available. Said one of the bigger changes when Tatum is/isn’t available is how often they have to put two on the ball defensively. But he said other Boston players have been empowered. – 5:23 PM

The Celtics have added Jaylen Brown to the injury report. He is questionable with his right knee impingement.
Holiday (hamstring) remains questionable and Tatum (wrist) remains doubtful – 12:03 PM

Celtics held shoot around at Kia Center this a.m. No sign of Jayson Tatum but he usually shoots last & media was shut down before we could see if he’d give it a try. Spotted Jaylen Brown in the back but he came to the court after media availabilities, so no injury updates pic.x.com/duhruUbdsJ11:26 AM

Nothing out of the ordinary on the #Magic injury report for Game 3.
The Celtics said Jrue Holiday (right hamstring strain) is Questionable, while Jayson Tatum (right distal radius bone bruise) is Doubtful. pic.x.com/G6VD8ubaia5:15 PM
