  1. It was only a matter of time. Tatum gets undercut on his 3 point attempts quite often. Absolutely sucks, and can’t blame Sabonis he’s just trying to contest the stepback (reckless not intentional), but man with how often defenders land under him I was always scared of this happening…

  3. Joe better take him out after these FTs. No need to play him, we are basically locked into the 2 seed

  5. Update: he’s back on the court walking and shooting free throws

    So hopefully it’s just one of those things that hurt a ton but isn’t serious in the long run.

  8. I’m not gonna call Sabonis dirty, but this has been happening all fucking season. And the refs never call a flagrant when people land in his airspace. Refs been begging for this shit to happen all season.

    It’s a dirty play and the players should be way more careful when contesting. And the refs should be MUCH harsher calling this a flagrant. To stop it from fucking happening.

  9. Two feet outside the 3 point line is absurd. The NBA has consistently failed to protect Tatum on this kind of play. It happens to him all the time and he rarely gets a flagrant call out of it. He only got one here because he got hurt.

  10. Calling Tatum an “Ironman” goes beyond playing a ton of games, in 7 years I literally can’t remember a time he got injured and seriously stayed down on the floor outside of this play. Dude just doesn’t get hurt. Hope he’s all good

  14. Doesn’t look intentional. JT shot his free throws and went to the back. Hope he’s okay.

  17. Unlike so many of these, Tatum was moving away, Sabonis had to go far to get under him

  18. Not much to know rn. Please be ok JT. He’s been on fire recently, they’re just a different team with him on the floor even with all the talent.

  20. I’ve never really seen Tatum roll around like that on the floor :/

    He’s in the locker room AT LEAST till 4th quarter starts. Hope bro’s okay. I think it was a good sign he went to take the free throws but you can tell he felt iffy.

  23. Damn. Hope it’s just a minor roll and he can get back quick. I know everyone else is probably already tired of the Celtics, but I’d love to see them in the finals

  25. FUCK ROLLED ANKLES

    FUCK EM TO HELL

    Hope Tatum is good.

    Broke my shit landing on someone’s foot. Some bullshit.

  31. This happens alot without being called as no one gets hurt. Curry gets his landing zone violated every time He tosses one up. Tatum had every right to shoot and land how he did.. It’s on Sabonis to not be reckless.

  32. Basketball gods making joker and Tatum take a rest by force. Them boys need and deserve the rest. Hate it comes like this though

  34. Sometimes shooters jump forward into the defender – this is absolutely not the case. Tatum almost perfectly went up and down in the same spot. That’s a bad foul – looks like an ankle roll, hopefully not serious and he’s okay. You never really know with sprained ankles – they’re all different.

  36. If y’all think that was a nasty roll, remember brunson’s ankle a few weeks ago?

  37. Fitting that the only Tatum highlight that gets any traction here is him getting injured lmao

  38. Always look at their feet. In this case, Tatum landed where he took off, Sabonis also landed where Tatum took off.
