Jayson Tatum’s mother — as well as the collective Celtics fan base — were not too happy with the Magic on Sunday after Tatum suffered an injury scare during Boston’s Game 1 win over Orlando.
Boston’s convincing 103-86 win was nearly undercut by Tatum suffering a serious injury, with the All-NBA forward favoring his right wrist with 8:28 left in the fourth quarter.
While driving to the basket and going up for a dink, Tatum was fouled by Magic guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, who knocked him off balance and caused him to land awkwardly.
Tatum stayed on the hardwood for a few minutes while grimacing in pain, with Caldwell-Pope eventually assessed a Flagrant 1 foul for the infraction.
