During a recent episode of the "'How Bout Them Celtics ?" podcast, hosts Jack Simone and Sam LaFrance discussed Tatum's performance and what led to his scoring explosion as the Celtics looked to bounce back from an earlier loss to Billy Donovan's team.

The Celtics got a bit of a late surprise entering Monday’s game against the Magic when All-Star Jayson Tatum did not appear after warmups. The team added him to the injury report just minutes before the opening tip due to a non-COVID illness, originally listing him as questionable.
