BOSTON (AP) --- Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum's status has been upgraded to
available, clearing the way for him to make his season debut almost 10 months
after having surgery to repair a ruptured right Achilles tendon.
Tatum's status was updated Friday afternoon ahead of the Celtics' home matchup
with the Dallas Mavericks.
Tatum was listed as questionable for the game Thursday. It marked the first
time this season he hadn't been listed as sidelined and undergoing
rehabilitation for the injury he suffered during Game 4 of Boston's Eastern
Conference semifinal loss to the New York Knicks last May.
Tatum previously indicated his return to the court would be for a home game.
Boston (41-21) currently sits in second place in the Eastern Conference
standings.
