Jayson Tatum's wrist injury raises concerns for the Celtics as they enter the playoffs. Following a flagrant foul during Game 1 against the Magic, he reported postgame that an X-ray revealed no fracture, but subsequent MRI results indicated a bone bruise. Listed as "doubtful" for Game 2, Tatum's injury management will be crucial for the Celtics' championship aspirations. While they might win without him, a lingering wrist issue could be a significant concern for the team moving forward in the series against Orlando.
"It's clean, it's good," Tatum told reporters of his wrist, adding: "I just landed on it. It was throbbing for a second. It kind of went away."
"Jayson Tatum underwent an MRI on that right wrist in the last 24 hours," Charania said. "He has been diagnosed with a bone bruise in his shooting wrist. It's believed to be a pain tolerance injury. Something that the Celtics will be managing day-to-day."
