Jayson Tatum shows up, Trae Young and more

The Boston Celtics found themselves in a tough spot after the first half of their game against the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday night. Milwaukee scored 69 points, but Boston held them to 38 in the second half and eked out a 113-107 win. The win moved the Celtics to 9-2 on the year.

As for the Atlanta Hawks, they are 3-7 this season. They have lost their last two games, and the last time they played the Celtics they suffered a 30-point loss to a team without Jaylen Brown. Now they go into the NBA Cup competition on Tuesday evening without their top star.

Here are the injury reports for the Celtics game against the Hawks on Tuesday, November 12th.

Kristaps Porzingis is still out and likely won't return until December as he continues to recover from offseason surgery.

While Brown is no longer on the injury report, Jayson Tatum is a new signing after injuring his ankle in the last game. Giannis Antetokounmpo went under him on a jump shot and Tatum twisted his ankle.

No obvious foul was called and Tatum and head coach Joe Mazzulla were understandably upset. Tatum exited the game against Milwaukee and was listed as questionable before being made available.

Al Horford was questionable due to a toe sprain, but it's probably just the Celtics' way of sitting him out on a consecutive night when Boston plays the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday. Horford has been made available for the game against the Hawks, meaning he will almost certainly miss Wednesday's game against the Nets.

Jaden Springer missed the last game against the Bucks and it is still questionable whether he will enter this game with tendinopathy in his left knee.

Above all Trae Young has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Celtics. He is struggling with tendonitis in his right Achilles tendon.

Bogdan Bogdanovic And Vit Krejci Both are struggling with long-term injuries. Bogdanovic underwent surgery for a hamstring injury and Krecji is dealing with a hamstring complaint. Both will be missing for several weeks.

Additionally, De'Andre Hunter And Seth Lundy Both were ruled out for the game against the Celtics, the former due to personal reasons and the latter due to an ankle problem.

This is likely what the Celtics will roll with (with and without Tatum):

Here's what the Hawks' top five could look like:
