Celtics Announce Major Jayson Tatum News as Joe Mazzulla Clarifies Position on Unusual Behavior

The postseason is underway, and so is the Boston Celtics’ title defense. Jayson Tatum and Co. played the first game of their series against the Orlando Magic on Sunday. The result? Of course, the Celtics were too hot to handle for the Magic, thanks to an incredible postseason performance from Boston’s point guard, Derrick White. The 30-year-old Celtics star finished the night with 30 points, ensuring a commanding 103-86 win over Orlando in Game 1. However, it wasn’t just White who shone on the night, but Boston’s superstar forward, Jayson Tatum, also had a solid game. He scored 17 points along with grabbing 14 rebounds, and dished out four assists. It would’ve been a perfect playoff night for Boston, only if tragedy hadn’t struck in the dying minutes of the game.

This came after he collided with Orlando’s Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Wendell Carter Jr. As soon as Tatum hit the floor, he could be seen in immense pain. However, the sight of Boston’s star player suffering in pain didn’t muster any kind of sympathy from the team’s head coach, Joe Mazzulla. In fact, Mazzulla held off the team’s trainer, who was on his way to check Tatum’s condition.
