Jayson Tatum Listed Doubtful for Suns Game After Ankle Injury

Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum suffered a concerning left ankle injury during a game against the Sacramento Kings, exiting in the third quarter after landing awkwardly on Domantas Sabonis' foot. Despite the initial panic among fans, Tatum later reassured them on the 'New Heights' podcast that he feels good and is recovering quickly, attributing his resilience to being 27 years old. The Celtics have listed him as 'doubtful' for their upcoming game against the Phoenix Suns, which is seen as a positive sign since he hasn't been ruled out entirely. Tatum had scored 25 points in the game before his injury, and his absence would be significant as he is a key player for the team. Coach Joe Mazzulla confirmed that Tatum is icing the injury and appears to be in good spirits, joking with teammates after the incident. With the playoffs approaching, the Celtics are being cautious about Tatum's recovery to ensure he is fit for the postseason.
