It took Turkey missing 4 straight free throws in the final 20 seconds and a JAYSON TATUM INJURY for Team USA to win in OVERTIME. Goodness gracious. #FIBAWC #Celtics

So Team USA narrowly avoided disaster and escaped with a first round W over Turkey, but it took some pretty fortuitous bounces, going to overtime, oh and the Celtics best young player getting hurt for that to happen.

Its too early to tell whether its a serious injury or not, but Tatum needing help to get off the court is not a good sign. Hopefully its just a tweaked ankle and he’ll be fine in a couple of days, but until then we panic.

Oh my God Tatum got hurt…
