The Boston Celtics will likely start Jayson Tatum on opening night as Marcus Morris continues to battle knee soreness.

Brad Stevens said Sunday that Morris will "be out here for the coming week-plus" and the team will re-evaluate him later this month to see when he might be ready for game action. 

Boston closed the preseason with a starting lineup of Kyrie Irving, Jaylen Brown, Gordon Hayward, Tatum and Al Horford.

Tatum was the third overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft.
