Jayson Tatum added to Celtics injury report; two starters questionable vs. Hawks

Jayson Tatum did not leave his meeting with Giannis Antetokounmpo unscathed.

The Celtics added Tatum to their injury report on Monday and listed him as questionable for Tuesday night’s NBA Cup game against the Atlanta Hawks with a sprained left ankle.

Tatum suffered the injury when he landed on Antetokounmpo’s foot during Sunday’s 113-107 win at Milwaukee. Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla said it was “ridiculous” that the Bucks star was not called for a foul during the game. Tatum also spoke out about Antetokounmpo’s dangerous shutdown, telling reporters, “There are certain calls you can’t miss.”

Tatum stayed in the game and finished with 31 points, 12 rebounds and six assists, with 23 of his points coming in the second half. He appeared in all 11 games for the Celtics this season and entered Monday as the NBA leader in total points scored.
