Celtics’ Jayson Tatum says wrist is fine after hard fall in Game 1

X-rays on Tatum’s right wrist came back negative after a scary fall late in Boston’s Game 1 win over the Magic

Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum said his right wrist is “all right” after a fall in the fourth quarter of Game 1 against the Orlando Magic.

X-rays were negative, and coach Joe Mazzulla confirmed there’s no major concern moving forward. Tatum had 17 points and 14 rebounds, despite shooting struggles, as Boston won 103–86.

Derrick White led with 30 points and Payton Pritchard added 19 off the bench. Game 2 is Wednesday in Boston.
