Jayson Tatum Out Wednesday With Ankle Sprain
5 months agoBoston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Tatum was able to play 41 minutes with a sprained left ankle that he suffered early in Tuesday's overtime thriller against the Golden State Warriors, struggling for a season-low 15 points on 5-for-17 shooting with eight rebounds, seven assists, two three-pointers, and two steals. And though the durable superstar is producing third-round per-game fantasy figures in nine-category leagues overall, managers may have been hoping for more than 26.8 points and 79.5% free-throw shooting on 6.6 attempts per game after spending a first-round pick on Tatum during this past fall's drafts. With Al Horford (rest) out and Kristaps Porzingis (calf) in on Wednesday, Sam Hauser is the most likely candidate for a spot start to fill out the wings for Boston.
