The first round of the 2025 NBA playoffs continues with Game 3 in the Eastern Conference between the Boston Celtics and the Orlando Magic on Friday. The Celtics are currently in a strong position, leading the best-of-seven series 2-0. However their star player, Jayson Tatum, is uncertain for Game 3 due to injury.

Jayson Tatum will be back in the Boston Celtics lineup Friday night when the team takes on the Orlando Magic in Game 3 of their first round playoff series.

Tatum is far from the only Celtic battling injuries during this first-round series. Jaylen Brown has been dealing with a knee injury dating back to the regular season and was questionable leading up to Game 3, but he is giving it a go as well. Kristaps Porzingis is on the floor in Game 3 after cutting his head open and gushing blood in Game 2.
