Jayson Tatum on his son’s stardom: ‘I definitely did not expect it’

If Jayson Tatum is the star of the Celtics, his son, Deuce, isn’t far behind.

The 4-year-old has been a fixture at Celtics games the last couple of seasons, typically sitting courtside at games in TD Garden. By sitting so close to the court, Deuce has provided several viral moments and clips. His latest came on Sunday when he looked like he couldn’t be bothered to watch his father score 38 points in the Celtics’ win over the Hawks.

Ahead of playing in his third All-Star Game, Tatum gave his thoughts on his son’s fame.

“I definitely did not expect it,” Tatum told reporters Saturday.
