Jayson Tatum injured in Celtics' 113-95 win over Kings
The six-time All-Star was hurt late in the third quarter of the Celtics’ sixth consecutive win. After making his fifth 3-pointer of the game, Tatum absorbed a Flagrant 1 foul by Kings 6-foot-11 center Domantas Sabonis. He remained down for several moments before making 1 of 2 free throws and being helped to Boston’s locker room.
Kristaps Porzingis had 16 points and seven rebounds after missing Sunday’s win in Portland, Payton Pritchard scored 20 points and Derrick White added 12 points and eight assists for the Celtics.
Sabonis made an earlier-than-expected return from an ankle injury and had 16 points and 17 rebounds. DeMar DeRozan added 20 points and 10 assists.
Kings: With the Thunder rolling into town for Tuesday's game, Sacramento doesn’t have time to mull the many mistakes it made in this one.
