Celtics star forward Jayson Tatum tested positive for COVID-19, The Boston Globe’s Gary Washburn reported Saturday.
Tatum received the positive COVID-19 test Friday night and immediately went into quarantine, according to Washburn. He is still awaiting the results of a confirmation test and is asymptomatic, Mark Murphy of the Boston Herald reported.
With the positive COVID-19 test, Tatum will likely have to quarantine for the next 10-14 days. Saturday’s news of Tatum’s positive test comes a day after center Robert Williams reportedly tested positive for the coronavirus.
Center Tristan Thompson and forward Grant Williams were also forced to quarantine for at least seven days starting on Friday due to the NBA’s health and safety protocols.
