Celtics at Nets: Money on the Floor, January 23, 2026
Charania adds that the Celtics are "cautiously optimistic" about Tatum returning later in the season. Tatum himself is on record saying he isn't ruling out a return, and by all accounts, his rehab is going swimmingly. "Clearly Jayson Tatum has a goal in his mind that he wants to play," Charania said. "Whether he can get there by the time we're in February, March or April, we'll see." How Boston performs this season is likely to factor into Tatum's decision as well, making this is an intriguing storyline to watch.
This is a simple maintenance day on the front end of a back-to-back set, and there is no injury to report. Presumably, White will be back in the lineup Saturday against the Bulls. With White sidelined, Baylor Scheierman and Anfernee Simons could see increased roles Friday.
Friday is marking a ninth straight straight absence for Minott, who remains out indefinitely. Luka Garza should continue to play the backup center role behind Neemias Queta on Friday.
