Via Underdog NBA: "Jayson Tatum (ankle) questionable for Tuesday."

The Celtics are 9-2 in their first 11 games.

They most recently beat the Milwaukee Bucks by a score of 113-107.

Tatum finished with 31 points, 12 rebounds and six assists while shooting 7/21 from the field and 4/12 from the three-point range in 40 minutes of playing time.

He suffered an injury scare during the game (he ended up returning).

Via Courtside Buzz on Sunday: "Giannis Antetokounmpo’s foot was in Jayson Tatum’s landing space & Tatum twisted his ankle on it & Giannis was not called for a foul."

Following the Hawks, the Celtics will play their next game on Wednesday evening when they visit Ben Simmons and the Brooklyn Nets at Barclays Center in New York.

Tatum is in his eighth season in the NBA (all with Boston).
