Exhale.
With 3:35 left in the third quarter in Sacramento, Jayson Tatum rose up and hit a three-pointer over Domantas Sabonis. Unfortunately, Sabonis was in his landing space and Tatum rolled his left ankle on Sabonis’ foot and crumpled to the floor.
After a review, it was deemed a Flagrant 1. Tatum limped to the line, hit one of two free throws, and went to the locker room with help from the assistant coaches.
In the fourth quarter, the team announced that he was “doubtful to return,” but all things considered, it was good news that he wasn’t ruled out completely.
