Celtics rookie Jayson Tatum will not be participating in the team’s Summer League activities, according to the Boston Herald‘s Mark Murphy.
“We knew it about 50 games into the season,” Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge told Murphy. “But look at it: He played in [99] games. I think it would be crazy to put him into the Summer League.”
Tatum averaged 36 minutes per game during the playoffs, up from his regular-season average of 30.5. He started a team-high 80 regular-season games and also played in all 19 of Boston’s postseason contests.
