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.

Fans can now breathe a sigh of relief after some good news was shedded on Jayson Tatum’s ankle injury scare.
According to the man himself, Tatum’s ankle is “just sore.” From what he can feel, there is nothing significantly wrong. Boston will be more “cautious” moving forward in their quest for another championship.
“I literally just asked him how he was doing, and he said, ‘OK,'” Mazzulla said. “He’ll do anything and everything to make sure he gets better.”
Joe Mazzulla is optimistic for his upcoming tests, as he also believes it is nothing to be concerned about.
Tatum left in the third quarter of Monday’s game against the Sacramento Kings. Tatum landed on Domantas Sabonis’ after going up for a shot.
OH NO: Jayson Tatum goes down holding his ankle after Domantas Sabonis went underneath him 😳
The rivalry is still alive and well with the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers. The NBA have released the numbers for this past Saturday’s spectacle and it was the highest game in seven years.
Quick note, this was the highest viewed game excluding Christmas Day games.
Saturday’s game saw an average of 4.61 million viewers and peaked at 5.3 million viewers.
This game saw Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown take on LeBron James and Luka Doncic; two of the league’s best duos currently.
Despite Los Angeles losing, LeBron and Luka combined for 56 points, 22 rebounds, and 12 assists.
Fans saw Tatum and Brown counteract that with 71 points, 18 rebounds, and 10 assists.
A very incredible, historic night for a historic rivalry.
Kristaps Porzingis has taken to social media to let the fans know what exactly is happening and why he has been missing so many games.
The long in short of the answer is an illness that hasn’t been fully identified by medical staff. It’s still unknown how long he will miss, or what exactly is causing him to have this illness. Porzingis has been out since February 26th.
“I have been dealing with some viral illness that we haven’t been able to fully identify yet,” Porzingis posted on the social media site during Monday’s game between the Celtics and Jazz in Boston. “I am recovering and getting better. But still working my way back to full [strength] to help this team. Thanks for support and [I’m] hoping for a healthy return soon.”
The Boston Celtics played the Utah Jazz Monday, which saw no Porzingis. According to Boston’s injury list, the 29-year-old is listed as “questionable” for Wednesday’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder – a highly anticipated game.
Due to this viral illness and him missing time due to the ankle surgery recovery, Porzingis has only played in 32 games this season. Boston has 17 games remaining before they begin their postseason adventure.
