Tatum Back at Garden, Celtics Without Brown vs Knicks

Jayson Tatum returns to Madison Square Garden for the first time since rupturing his Achilles tendon there last May, but will be without Jaylen Brown against the Knicks due to left Achilles tendinitis. Tatum, who returned to action in March, expressed nervousness about returning to the site of his injury but is ready to face the challenge head-on.

The Celtics can secure the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference with a victory in this crucial matchup.
