Tatum out at least next two Team USA games

SHANGHAI -- Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum will miss at least the next two World Cup games for Team USA with a sprained left ankle.

Tatum turned the ankle in the final seconds of overtime in Team USA's 93-92 win over Turkey Tuesday night. He was examined Wednesday and was declared to be out at least five days. He will get re-evaluated on Sept. 9.

Team USA plays Japan in their final pool play game Thursday. The game has no stakes as the U.S. has already advanced to the next round and Japan has been eliminated.
