Celtics' Tatum doubtful for Game 3 with 'severe' wrist bruise

Jayson Tatum remains listed as doubtful for the Boston Celtics, meaning the reigning NBA champions do not expect him to play Friday when they visit the Orlando Magic in Game 3 of an Eastern Conference first-round series.

Tatum is dealing with a bone bruise in his right wrist, an injury suffered on a hard fall after getting fouled in Game 1 of the series. Tatum did not play in Game 2, when the Celtics prevailed for a 2-0 series lead.

"He's dealing with a severe bone bruise," Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla said in an interview on Boston radio station 98.
