What Jayson Tatum said about his status after bruising fall

Jayson Tatum took a scary spill as he chased after a loose ball during Sunday night’s loss to the Thunder in Oklahoma City.

The Celtics forward remained on the ground for around 40 seconds after making contact with Jalen Williams and losing his footing, colliding with one of the courtside seats at OKC’s Paycom Center.

Several teammates ran over to check on Tatum as he lay on his stomach and his feet swung in the air. Ultimately, Tatum rolled onto his back and was helped to his feet. He walked gingerly back to the sideline and stayed in the game.
