Jayson Tatum getting paid HUGE amounts of money! Yep, you are reading that title correctly. The Celtics and Jayson Tatum came to an agreement that will make Tatum crazy rich.
The contract is 5-years, $163 million dollars but can easily go up to $200 million dollars. This comes as no shock as this contract happened with Donovan Mitchell of the Utah Jazz. All he has to do is just earn an All-NBA spot to get the $200 million dollars.
The third overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft is making a name for himself. He was in last year’s NBA All-Star, becoming certain of attention, and skyrocketing his averages. The face of the Celtics, their key franchise player is ready to get back to work; of course with the new contract, and with all the new pieces.
The Celtics have been making so many free agency moves within 48 hours, how? They acquired Jeff Teague, Tristan Thompson, and now locking up their star player. However, they have given up pieces too. Take note of Gordon Hayward, who signed with Charolette, and Enes Kanter. Kanter went to the Trail Blazers via a three-team trade.

According to multiple reports, spearheaded by ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Boston Celtics are expected to get back Jrue Holiday for Monday’s Game 1 against the New York Knicks.
Boston has been banged up with injuries since the beginning of their series against the Orlando Magic; notable names being Jayson Tatum, Kristaps Porzingis, and Jaylen Brown.
Beyond those three, a very notable name missing was Holiday. He’s been dealing with a strained right hamstring.
The medical staff has given the defensive-minded 34-year-old a clean bill of health to be able to play Monday. This is great news for the Celtics, who are going up against a tough matchup.
Overall, Boston does not have anyone else on their injury report.
Before TNT’s broadcast of Bucks-Pacers, the NBA announced that Payton Pritchard had won the Sixth Man of the Year award. A highly viewed award where he battled both Ty Jerome and Malik Beasley.
Pritchard has been one of the most valuable bench players in the NBA this season, as he averaged a career-high in points (14.3). Plus, led the NBA in points off the bench with 1,079 and set an NBA single-season record for three-pointers made off the bench with 246.
His huge season propelled him to first in voting to secure this year’s Sixth Man of the Year award.
The 27-year-old received 82 of the 100 first place votes and was 454 points ahead of both Jerome and Beasley.
According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Boston Celtics have officially diagnosed superstar Jayson Tatum with a bone bruise in his right wrist. An injury he suffered during Game 1 against the Orlando Magic.
Right now, after undergoing an MRI, Tatum is listed as day-to-day ahead of Wednesday’s Game 2 in Boston. The Celtics lead the series 1-0.
His availability will be entirely upon his ability of pain tolerance. Doctors say he can push through this injury.
