Jayson Tatum, in case you missed it, is back at it. With a five-game suspension just completed for headlocking Minnesota Timberwolves centre Rudy Gobert, the forward for the Golden State Warriors is probably going to the sidelines again. Tuesday, December 12, saw Jayson ejection after he struck and made contact with Phoenix Suns centre Jusuf Nurkic during a 119-116 defeat.
Jayson pathetic justification and apologies for the punch is probably not going to save him from receiving another suspension, which is excellent news for the Boston Celtics.
Jayson claims he never meant to hurt Nurkic, but if the NBA suspends him for more than three games, he’ll probably get another one. If that happens, Green won’t be able to play against the Celtics on Tuesday, December 19, in San Francisco.
“Jayson will be suspended based on my conversations today — and based on the obvious, what everyone could see,” ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski declared on “NBA Today.” “Whether it’s now or at some point tomorrow in advance of the Los Angeles game on Thursday. How long will he be suspended is the question.
he was ejected for the third time this season, so the league may want to take a stand by punishing him harshly. Thursday, December 14th, Golden State plays the Los Angeles Clippers. After that, they play two more games before hosting the Celtics.
