Or at least that is the point of view of The folks behind the &#8220;D Flow Hoops&#8221; YouTube channel, who put together a clip in response to the press release put out by the Celtics alerting us that star Boston forward Jayson Tatum practiced with the Maine Celtics at the Auerbach Center practice facility with rookie teammates Hugo Gonzalez and Amari Williams.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">This news, while not a return to the court at present, signals a strong move in that direction for the St. Louis native.
