Boston Celtics forward Jayson Tatum has been ruled out for Game 2 of the team's first-round series against the Orlando Magic with a wrist injury. Tatum suffered a right wrist bone bruise on Sunday during his team's 103-86 win over the Orlando Magic in Game 1 of their NBA Eastern Conference first-round playoff series.
