With all 22 teams set to enter the Orlando bubble by the end of the week, preparations for the NBA’s restart are now well and truly underway, and early news out of the Celtics camp is that Jayson Tatum still can’t miss.

Brad Stevens called the bubble a “new season in a lot of ways” and, after what will be over four months off, there is bound to be some rustiness to shake off – which makes having multiple options all the more important, in case one or two have an off night.
