It’s unclear what sparked Tatum’s soreness, but it seems like it’s not a significant injury if he is likely to play Thursday. Celtics center Robert Williams also was declared out for Wednesday’s game against the Pistons due to a left hip bone edema.
Tatum is averaging 21.3 points in 34 minutes per game this season.
