Jaylen Brown (quad bruise) and Jayson Tatum (right patella tendonitis) won't play in the Celtics' round-of-16 summer league game tonight vs. the Golden State Warriors in Las Vegas.
Brown is expected to be out for the remainder of the summer league after he took a knee in the thigh in a victory over the 76ers Tuesday night. Guard Abdel Nader, a second-round pick in 2016 who has missed the past two games, is also out tonight with a strained left calf.
The winner of the Celtics-Warriors game meets the winner of the seed Sacramento Kings-Dallas Mavericks in the quarterfinals Saturday. The loser will face the loser of the Los Angeles Clippers-Miami Heat game.
Tatum, the No. 3 overall pick last month in the draft, has been impressive in the summer league, averaging 18.7 points, 9.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 2.3 steals.
