Jayson Tatum to Quarantine for 10-14 Days Due to COVID-19 Protocols

Celtics star forward Jayson Tatum is expected to quarantine and miss 10 to 14 days due to COVID-19 health and safety protocols, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania.

This report comes just a day after the Celtics announced they would be without three front court players in their Friday matchup with the Wizards. Robert Williams tested positive for COVID-19, while Grant Williams and Tristan Thompson missed the game due to contact tracing, according to ESPN.

The short-handed Celtics (6-3) outlasted the Wizards, 116–107, behind Tatum's 32 points, but now they will be without their leading scorer for the next five to seven games.
