In a rather underwhelming showing for Tatum, the young superstar was practically crucified for his failures. Tatum has now revealed that there was a reason behind his sudden drop-off. In conversation with Taylor Rooks, the Celtics star revealed that he played through an undisclosed injury in the playoffs. He said: "I had a non-displaced fracture in my wrist. It was small, but it was still like a - a non-displaced - chipped a bone, but it didn't leave the surface. But it had shown that the bone had grew over it. So it healed. But I was still in pain because I kept getting it hit or falling on it. So I guess I played with somewhat of a fracture for like 2 months." Tatum highlighted how the injury was aggravated in the series against the Milwaukee Bucks. In a situation that forced the star to take cortisol shots to play on, he elaborated upon his condition by saying: "After each game I would have to wear a brace to shootaround and I would take it off before the cameras saw me. Pre-game taking my nap - then I had to put it back on just to make sure it was stable."
