Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown INJURED in Celtics Loss vs Trail Blazers

The Celtics gave up consecutive threes after a bad goaltending call on Tristan Thompson and the referees ejecting Marcus Smart following a collision with Jusuf Nurkic. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown got tied up trailing by seven points moments later and twisted each other’s ankles, sending both to the locker room, with Brown limping on an ankle that already made him questionable to play tonight. The Celtics allowed the Blazers to shoot 50% from the field and from three in the loss, overpowering strong performances by Tatum, Aaron Nesmith, Payton Pritchard and Evan Fournier.
