Jayson Tatum injured on flagrant foul in potential Celtics nightmare
NY Post
The Celtics just saw their entire season flash before their eyes.
Celtics star Jayson Tatum landed on the foot of Kings center Domantas Sabonis after elevating for a 3-pointer on Monday night in a potential injury nightmare for the defending champs.
Tatum was writhing in pain on the court afterward.
Sabonis was issued a flagrant foul 1 on review as he did not give Tatum a place to land as he was coming down from his jump shot, which still went in.
The injury, which was determined to be an ankle sprain, occurred with 3:35 remaining in the third quarter when the Celtics led 88-75 of what ended up being a 113-95 victory.
Tatum wound up needing support just to get off the floor as the Sacramento crowd erupted in MVP chants.

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
