Celtics' Jayson Tatum: X-ray on wrist negative after fall

BOSTON -- Boston Celtics All-Star Jayson Tatum said a postgame X-ray on his right wrist was "clean" and that he was "all right" after a hard fall on that wrist during his team's 103-86 playoff-opening win against the Orlando Magic on Sunday at TD Garden.

Tatum, who finished with 17 points on 8-of-22 shooting in nearly 40 minutes, appeared to injure his right wrist with 8:28 remaining in the fourth quarter on a driving dunk attempt at the rim when he was met by two Magic defenders, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Wendell Carter Jr.
