NBA office reviews Jayson Tatum's flagrant 1 foul from last night's Celtic win over Philly, downgrades it to a common foul. Referees were about to check video from the play when Tatum was assessed his second tech of the game for arguing the initial call of an offensive foul.
New ESPN story: Jayson Tatum wasn’t expecting to be ejected from Friday’s win over the 76ers, and didn’t think he should’ve been. “I definitely did not get my money's worth to get thrown out the game tonight." https://t.co/apREmBshpe
Jayson Tatum, with a smile: “I wasn’t that f—ing mad.” Made it clear he didn’t say or do anything after he got ejected. He just went back to the locker room and watched the game.
Jayson Tatum on ejection: "Players, we compete and affect the game. The refs, they have an effect on the game. They threw me out, right or wrong, it’s their word against ours. I can’t get that time back." He says he didn't curse. "Me and Bill was having a conversation."
