After missing two games earlier this month, Jayson Tatum says his body is healing up.
The Celtics’ star missed a pair of contests against the Detroit Pistons on Dec. 4 and 12 due to right patella tendinopathy. Those are the only games Tatum’s missed all season.
Speaking with reporters on Saturday ahead of Boston’s tilt versus the Chicago Bulls, he chalked the ailment up to playing frequently at the beginning of December.
“That was just a tough stretch. I think we played, like, six games in nine days, or something like that,” Tatum said when asked about his knee.
