Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum, who is listed as doubtful for Game 3 of their first-round series against the Orlando Magic on Friday, has a “severe” bone bruise in his wrist, according to Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla.
“He’s dealing with a severe bone bruise, and he’s day-to-day,” Mazzulla said Thursday during an interview on 98.5 The Sports Hub. “He’s progressively gotten a little bit better each day, and yesterday he went through all the protocols and did everything you can possibly do up until the last moment to try and play and just wasn’t able to do it.”
Tatum took a hard fall on his wrist in Boston’s series-opening 103-86 win last Sunday, and as a result he missed its 109-100 win in Game 2 on Wednesday. On Friday in Orlando, the Celtics could be even more shorthanded, as guard Jrue Holiday joined Tatum on the injury report on Thursday. Holiday is listed as questionable with a strained right hamstring.
In the interview, which took place before Holiday was added to the injury report, Mazzulla said there is “a chance” that Tatum could return on Friday. Mazzulla also claimed that he doesn’t talk to team doctors — this may have been a joke, but it’s genuinely hard to tell with him — and couldn’t say whether Tatum’s injury is something that requires time off to heal.
“All I can tell you is, at the end of the day, he’s doing whatever he can, every minute of the 24 hours to put himself in position to try and be out there on the court,” Mazzulla said. “I trust his process, trust his mindset, trust the people around him that help put him in position and that’s all we can do.”
Wednesday’s win suggested that Boston can manage just fine without Tatum during this series, provided that everybody else is available. If Holiday is sidelined, though, the Celtics’ task will be tougher, and they will have less margin for error as they get deeper in the playoffs.

MLB Over/Under Best Bet: Atlanta Braves vs. Arizona Diamondbacks, April 25th
Despite a shaky beginning, yesterday’s Mariners-Red Sox Under bet held on to cash in the end, and as a result, also extended our latest winning streak on totals. Let’s commence the weekend with another such victory. Friday’s effort comes from Chase Field in the desert, where the Arizona Diamondbacks are hosting the Atlanta Braves for the first of a three-game series. The opening contest wields a fascinating pitching matchup featuring the reigning National League Cy Young award winner, Chris Sale, going toe-to-toe with a top three finalist for the award from two seasons ago, Zac Gallen. The most fascinating component is that both starters haven’t mostly been their normal selves here in the early going of 2025. Sale is 0-2 with an ugly 6.17 ERA and 1.63 WHIP, not to mention he’s allowed four home runs already in his five […]

The win came after the Union had scored just one goal during a three-match winless streak (0-2-1). D.C.

Heat’s Tyler Herro responds to Cavaliers’ Darius Garland’s remark about defense: ‘I’m not f—— around’
MIAMI — Darius Garland called out Tyler Herro, and now the Miami Heat All-Star has responded.After Garland’s Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Heat 121-112 Wednesday to take a 2-0 lead in their first-round series, Garland was asked to identify the key to Cleveland’s crunch-time strategy. His answer added some beef to a suddenly contentious battle between the top team in the East and a Heat squad that barely made the playoffs.Advertisement“Pick on Tyler Herro and take care of the ball,” Garland said of the Cavs’ approach. “Don’t play in tight spaces and pick on their weak defenders.”Herro didn’t hold back when asked about Garland’s comments in a news conference Friday.“Somebody that doesn’t play defense shouldn’t be talking either,” Herro said. “He don’t play any defense and we’ll see that tomorrow. He don’t play no D.”Both Herro and Garland told The Athletic […]
Baltimore Ravens draft picks, grades: NFL draft order, mock drafts, rumors as Malaki Starks taken 27th overall
Getty Images The Baltimore Ravens continue to chase the Super Bowl under Lamar Jackson. Despite the deep playoff runs in the Jackson era, the Ravens have still fallen short of the league championship game -- despite having one of the most talented rosters in the NFL. Jackson has been an MVP candidate every season, and one of the game's best quarterbacks. Once the postseason comes, the Ravens have trouble getting over the hump in the talented AFC. Jackson's .745 win percentage is the best ever by a quarterback without a Super Bowl title, as he has multiple turnovers in four of eight playoff games. He's the only multiple-time MVP quarterback with a losing record in the playoffs, as the Ravens average 18.6 points per game in Jackson's starts in the playoffs compared to 28.7 in the regular season. Baltimore has 78 […]
