Celtics forward Jayson Tatum on Monday pledged to match up to $250,000 in donations to the Greater Boston Food Bank as families grapple with economic uncertainty during the COVID-19 crisis. Tatum and Wizards star Bradley Beal, a fellow St. Louis native, have also pledged to team up to match another $250,000 for the St. Louis Area Foodbank.
“Just trying to find a way that I could be of some assistance during this time,” Tatum said. “Always trying to find a way to give back.”
With the NBA season postponed indefinitely, Tatum has mostly been waiting for clarity, just like everyone else.
