The Celtics are coming off a heartbreaking end to the season where they lost to the Warriors in six games during the Finals. While addressing reporters Tuesday, team president Brad Stevens was asked what he told Jayson Tatum after the disappointing series.
“I just told him go on vacation,” Stevens said. “Go get some rest. This guy gave us everything he had. When you look at the minutes, when you look at the games played—I’ve said this many times—he’s a superstar that doesn’t want to sit.”
Tatum is coming off the best year of his young career but the last thing people will remember about this series is his struggles—specifically in the fourth quarter.
