BOSTON -- Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum missed Monday night's game against the Detroit Pistons because of a right ankle injury.
It's the fourth time the team's leading scorer will be sidelined this season.
Tatum, who is averaging a team-best 27.1 points and 8.3 rebounds a game, joined Jrue Holiday (right shoulder contusion) as the two starters missing for the Celtics (53-14).
Boston, which has the best record in the league, sat three starters in Sunday night's 26-point win at Washington. Derrick White (sprained left hand), Kristaps Porzingis (strained right hamstring) and Jaylen Brown (sprained right ankle) all missed that game.
