Jayson Tatum to sit out for Boston vs Washington on Sunday
Boston Celtics franchise star Jayson Tatum will be shelved on Sunday against the Washington Wizards, Keith Smith of Spotrac reports.
Boston listed Tatum as out due to a left ankle sprain. The All-Star forward sustained the injury earlier this week in a loss against the Chicago Bulls, but went on to perform spectacularly against the Dallas Mavericks and Sacramento Kings the following nights.
As the Celtics are comfortably holding a 15-4 sheet to lead the Eastern Conference, the move may serve as a rest and precautionary measure to preserve Tatum upon solid performances on their back-to-back wins.
The 24-year-old superstar-bound Tatum is currently averaging 30.5 markers, 7.9 boards, and 4.6 dimes in 47.7 percent shooting per 19 games.
