The Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum is doubtful for the match 2 match on Wednesday with the Orlando Magic due to a bruising in his right wrist.
Tatum suffered the injury for Sunday Jame 1 Victory over Orlando's magic. He took a blatant fault and landed on his right wrist during the match, but was able to finish the match and told journalists thereafter that the radiographs returned negative.

“Everything is fine,” said Tatum when he asked him about his wrist. “I just came across it, I landed on it.”
The fear of Tatum's injuries took place with 8:28 to play in the fourth quarter. He attacked the basket for an attempt by Dunk and landed on the basic line after a fault by Kentavious Caldwell-Pope in which the magic guard caught the right elbow of Tatum and pulled while Tatum was in the air.
Tatum landed hard in the field and tightened his right wrist. He stayed on the ground for several moments after the fault. Officials examined the fault on Caldwell-Pope and went from personnel to a flagrant 1.

During the exam, Tatum got up and went to the bench, where he received a treatment from a member of the Celtics medical staff. When the game resumed, he went to the line of fault to shoot his free throws.
A free throw shooter of 81% for the season, Tatum missed them both. But he continued to play in the section and struck his first pointer 3 of the match a few moments later, relieving the concern he was facing an important injury.
But he continued to bend his wrist on the bench once he was left from the match in the last two minutes with the rest of the Celtic runners, clearly still in discomfort.
Shamscharania of ESPN reported Tuesday That Tatum has obtained an MRI that revealed bone bone into its right wrist, and that in the future, it is a question of pain tolerance and to manage injury in the future.
