Jayson Tatum Doubtful for Suns Game Following Ankle Sprain

The Celtics star forward sustained a left ankle sprain during Monday's game against the Kings, prompting a cautious recovery approach ahead of the playoffs.

Jayson Tatum sprained his left ankle after landing on Domantas Sabonis' foot during a three-point attempt in the Celtics' win over the Kings on Monday.
Sabonis was assessed a flagrant 1 foul for the play and later apologized, expressing regret for the incident.
Tatum is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Phoenix Suns as the Celtics prioritize his recovery to ensure readiness for the postseason.
Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla and reports suggest the injury is not severe, with Tatum seen walking without crutches or a protective boot postgame.
The Celtics, already locked into the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference, may lean on their depth, including players like Sam Hauser, during Tatum's absence.
