After Brissett suited up with the Sixers for the first time in his career, his former teammate Jayson Tatum reacted to hearing the news that Brissett was getting an opportunity with Boston’s Atlantic Division rival.

The Boston Celtics will face the Philadelphia 76ers on March 6. They are looking to fine-tune their performance as the NBA Playoffs near. At 44-18, Boston is No. 2 in the Eastern Conference, with a 3.

So, regarding whether Jayson Tatum is playing tonight vs. the Nets, the Celtics have little incentive to make him available if he isn't 100 percent with their playoff seeding effectively determined.
