Celtics await Jayson Tatum’s possible return vs. Mavericks

The Boston Celtics may have a much different look when they face the visiting Dallas Mavericks on Friday night.

Jayson Tatum was upgraded to questionable on Boston's injury report on Thursday, fueling speculation that he may play in an NBA game for the first time since he tore his right Achilles tendon in Game 4 of last year's Eastern Conference semifinals against the New York Knicks.

Tatum has been practicing since Feb. 9 and reportedly has been "full-go" in 5-on-5 scrimmages since the All-Star break.
