Boston Celtics star forward Jayson Tatum is so glad to be back to basketball that he's even enjoying the tough things that come with his return.

Tatum saw his minutes restriction go up a tick in the Celtics’ win over the Wizards on Sunday. After playing 27 minutes in his first three games, Tatum finished with 32 minutes that included playing the entire third quarter. He gave a promising health update following Sunday’s game.

"(Tatum) even wanting to come back was an unselfish act, putting his potential, his body on the line," said Brown, flipping expectations on JT's return.

The Boston Celtics may be without multiple key players in Saturday night’s game against the Washington Wizards.

The Boston Celtics star is making great progress, and he understands the big picture in entails, but it doesn't mean he likes every minute of it.

The San Antonio Spurs rolled to their fifth consecutive victory after Celtics star Jaylen Brown was ejected in the second quarter.

Jayson Tatum’s return was never a cakewalk. With much of the media narrative pitting him against Jaylen Brown, fans began to believe the team no longer belongs to him alone.
