Jayson Tatum injury update: Latest news on Boston Celtics star's status
Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum suffered an ankle injury on Monday night against the Sacramento Kings, and despite this setback, the Celtics managed to secure a 113-95 victory. Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla remains optimistic that Tatum has avoided a serious injury.
Tatum made a 3-pointer in the third quarter and was fouled by center Domantas Sabonis, landing on Sabonis with his left foot.

He returned to make one of two free throws before heading to the locker room. Despite leaving the game early, Tatum finished with 25 points, seven rebounds, and eight assists in the victory against the Kings.
