Jayson Tatum injury: Boston Celtics star ‘sore’ after Game 1 flagrant foul

BOSTON -- BOSTON — Jayson Tatum is still dealing with a sore wrist, two days after taking a hard foul following a flagrant foul from Kentavious Caldwell-Pope in Game 1 of the Celtics first round series against the Magic. The Celtics All-Star was down for nearly a minute after landing hard following a dunk attempt at the rim with 8:28 remaining in the fourth quarter of Boston’s 103-86 win.

Tatum ultimately stayed in the game and played his usual playoff minute load (40 minutes overall) but was seen flexing the wrist throughout the remainder of the game and while on the bench.
