Jayson Tatum rolled his ankle on Game 7’s first possession but stayed in the game

Jayson Tatum rolled his ankle on Game 7’s first possession but stayed in the game

After the Miami Heat took a 3-0 lead in the 2023 Eastern Conference Finals, the Boston Celtics came back with three straight wins. Celtics goaltender Derrick White beat the buzzer on a memorable tip to win Game 6 on Saturday, setting up a monumental Game 7 matchup on Memorial Day in Boston. Beyond the ever-entertaining nature of a Game 7 in any series, the winner wins a trip to the 2023 NBA Finals to meet Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets, and the stakes and anticipation are sky-high. . However, things nearly went off the rails for Jayson Tatum and the Celtics just 26 seconds into the game.

Tatum drove to the baseline on Boston’s first offensive possession of the game and, after fouling Gabe Vincent, Tatum landed awkwardly, rolling his ankle in the process.

Tatum went to the free throw line and split a pair of free throws, although he moved quite cautiously following the injury. Above all, he stayed in the game and Boston desperately needs Tatum’s contributions at both ends of the field, noting that he has reached or exceeded 30 points in four of the first six games of the series.

It’s impossible to know how serious Tatum’s ankle problem may be or if it could get worse during the game. Still, he’s been able to stay on the court, and with the adrenaline undoubtedly rising in a game-winning or going home, it’ll be interesting to see how Tatum can contribute as Boston’s best player.
