Here's the thing: Mazzulla insisted after Game 6 that Tatum is not injured. But the star still didn't suit up for Game 7. Whatever the reason, the Celtics had to play their biggest game of the season without their best player. It didn't work. In Game 7, the Celtics' late rally fell short in a season-ending loss to the Sixers. The run is over.
What's Next
The offseason starts now for Boston. The team will have to figure out what went wrong and why they couldn't close out a series they had in their hands. For Celtics fans, the sting of losing Game 7 at home without answers about Tatum's status will linger all summer.
